Explore compatibility of Docker to Podman #1

dgkf-roche commented 11 months ago

Not sure whether this project will eek out some nuance that I haven't caught yet, but I've been running podman for about 2 years now as a drop-in replacement for docker and the experience has been pretty smooth. Originally on my personal machine for development containers and even now for work.

Early on there were some minor issues regarding large volume mounts on MacOS (M1), but no issues for about a year now. If it's just for the purpose of hosting a shiny app, I would expect it to be quite compatible.

I'm usually running containers that are shared jointly on Windows developer machines, Linux remote nodes and some Mac developer machines, so these are images broadly used as docker - just to emphasize how interoperable they are.
