Is it? I think Podman only works with "docker-compose" (the Python-based tool that can be installed separately from Docker, which Podman is compatible with, which is now deprecated) as opposed to "docker compose" (the Golang-based plugin which is integrated into Docker Engine, which I think Podman is not (yet?) compatible with).
Would love to be proven wrong, as I ended up down quite a rabbit hole with this topic somewhat recently.
- sigotirandolas 3y agoThe Golang version, aka. Compose v2 can also be used standalone (they even have prebuilt binaries in their GitHub repository) and is compatible with Podman. Behind the scenes both Compose v1 and v2 use the Docker API which is also implemented by Podman (`podman system service`). In my experience they work fine together most of the time, I have ran into compatibility bugs sometimes, though things seem to be steadily improving.
- arcanemachiner 3y agoWell that's good to know. I ended up going back to Docker containers, but hopefully this means I can take another look at Podman again!
