    I'm using the podman ansible module[1] to manage the podman container atm, it's ... Okish. I wrote a spaghetti mess with ansible conditionals and loops to manage multitude of systemd files made from podman-generate-systemd. If I had some time maybe I'll try this out, a more declarative approach would certainly be nicer.

  • docker Vs podman - Which one is worth doing a dive in?
    3 projects | /r/linuxadmin | 21 Sep 2022
    My opinion, yes, and RHEL are sure aiming for that. Whether they will succeed and whether it's better than Docker/ Kubernetes is down to personal opinion at least for now. Podman is trying to make it easy to work with it and to scale - there's an Ansible role under development. At the end of the day, Podman is made to be compatible with both Docker and Kubernetes syntax and general way of work, so I think if you know it well it shouldn't be too hard to learn the other technologies if needed.
