Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like podman is by and for linux devs. Once you move to Mac or Windows, you give up podman's main benefit of running containers without a daemon since you're still having to run a VM.
- pxc 3y agoIt's for folks who deploy to Linux. In the most recent case, I just needed it to mirror some images from DockerHub to an Amazon ECR. Not having a Linux box for a dev machine, I'd have to involve one somewhere, and it'd either be a local VM or a remote one. In my case, the main benefit of running Podman is not versus Docker. I don't want to run Docker Desktop because of its licensing. Podman doesn't have to offer me a technological benefit that Docker doesn't, at least for development use cases. For development use cases like devcontainers, I agree, though. For that kind of stuff on macOS, I use Nix instead of a VM-based solution like Podman Desktop or Docker for Mac or whatever.
