Discovery: explore alternatives to Docker Desktop #46

Open yuviherziger opened 5 months ago

yuviherziger commented 5 months ago

The usage of Docker Desktop in large corporates can be limited due to Docker's updated terms and conditions.

The following are some alternatives that should be tested:

Podman Desktop
Rancher Desktop
Lima + containerd - see example
Colima

The ideal would be to make tomodo interoperable, regardless of the available container runtime. If interoperability can't be achieved, the user could proactively choose to configure tomodo with their preferred container runtime.

For Podman: Interoperability would be difficult (i.e., controlling Podman containers with the Docker SDK). This is mainly a product of the difference between how Podman and Docker machines manage volumes.

For this purpose, it would be much cleaner to use the Podman SDK for Python.
