Podman support #5

Open alxlg opened 4 years ago

You may want to try Podman as an alternative to Docker and eventually support it. Podman is currently adding new API for compatibility with Docker and docker-compose: https://podman.io/blogs/2020/01/17/podman-new-api.html

If you didn't know Podman I suggest you to check it since it has many advantages compared to Docker while keeping much compatibility as possible.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm aware of podman but haven't tried it yet. Support for podman would be nice, of course. Do you think a global setting would be enough to switch between docker and podman? Or would you like to mange some containers via docker and some containers via podman?

So much to do :)

Thank you for your reply, personally a global setting would be enough for me since I want to totally switch to Podman but you decides, some may found the latter option useful too since AFAIK Podman can't replace Docker in some cases yet. Also notice that at the moment (version 1.8.0) the new API is a preview: https://github.com/containers/libpod/releases/tag/v1.8.0
