My only problems with Podman is the lack of up to date repos across systems, the fact that the latest raw binaries are managed by a maintainer out of the goodness of their heart, and that the VS Code extension ecosystem for managing pods is not integratable with the existing Docker stuff (and the replacement extensions are woefully underdeveloped).
Otherwise it honestly is great and preferable over Docker.
- jeppester 2y agoI won't deny that the outdated repos was a pain in the past, but ever since ubuntu got to version 4 it's been working flawlessly for me. I think version 4 was where podman became a reliable tool, whereas I found it to be flaky and unreliable in previous versions. I don't use vs code extensions for managing my containers, so I can't say much about those, but I wonder if many of them won't work fine with an alias for docker and maybe the podman-socket running.
- ocular-rockular 2y agoIts broken with alias but what's this about the podman-socket? Do you know where I can take a look at that?
- tristan957 2y agoI think you can use the VSCode Docker extension if you enable the Podman socket.
