All of that can be accomplished by being compatible with the broader OCI ecosystem. But Red Hat explicitly tries to be a Docker replacement (they suggest `alias docker=podman`, which actually breaks in many ways), to the point where I'm not sure why I should bother using a product that will always play catch-up to the real thing. This Desktop and Compose announcement is part of that roadmap, and I'm just wondering what Podman does better than Docker at this point.
- LeFantome 3y agoDo you do embedded? Look at the size of crun vs runc and at the portability of Go vs C. Do you like having to have a daemon running? I don’t. Also, the “pod” in the name may yield a few hints. Finally, despite all the recent and undeserved hate, I know that Red Hat will keep their source open. I have no such faith in Docker. Have you priced out Docker Desktop and Podman Desktop lately?
- freedomben 3y agoI find the Pod and Deployment support in Podman to be a killer feature personally. I've also gotten small apps running manually in podman, and once the config is working, podman can emit k8s compatible yaml that can be re-applied to a different podman or applied to a k8s cluster. Pretty sweet IMHO.
- imiric 3y agoThat's a good point, thanks. I haven't yet experimented with that.
