Podman Desktop 1.10: 1M downloads and counting
- sonicanatidae 2y agoUpdate! 1,000,001 now
- dnel 2y agoI'm one of those million as I installed it last week and I've been impressed with it and podman as a whole. Just today I piped a cross-platform image from my M2 Mac running podman to an amd64 Linux server running Docker today and it just worked. So far it's been a viable alternative to begging for a Docker license.
- _lvbh 2y agoI have the CLI installed and use it quite often for managing containers and as a replacement for docker-compose. Can anyone comment on whether docker is better? I’ve never had any issues with podman and use it since it’s installed by default but curious why more people use docker.
- mdaniel 2y agoI'd guess the short answer is "inertia," and that word applies to the whole ecosystem: tutorials, existing infrastructure, chatgpt summaries, stackoverflow questions (maybe that one is redundant now, heh), etc, etc We run 100% containerd in production because I previously had the docker daemon lock up which nukes every container on the host, and never installed docker ever again on any production instance. But, I have no interest in babysitting every junior (or, ahem, some senior ones) engineer to mentally translate the docker commands to either podman or nerdctl. I am aware some folks allege $(alias docker=podman) works for them, and good for you, but that's not been my experience
- mmusc 2y agoIm on windows and I find the native Docker desktop app pretty good. Does podman offer benfits over it?
- toomuchtodo 2y agoNot desperate for a business plan and revenue like Docker.
- nunez 2y agoFor now. Docker started out the same way.
- toomuchtodo 2y agoShould probably be under the Apache umbrella/stewardship to be honest.
