cocalc-docker VS podman-compose

I recently discovered Sagemath CoCalc.

You can download and use cocalc for free via a docker image: https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc-docker

I am the CEO of CoCalc, which is an alternatives to Overleaf that they don't own. I don't know whether or not our rules about personal data collection are compatible with your university requirements. Our default rules are at https://cocalc.com/policies, but we have been able to make modifications to them for particular customers. We also have a small easy to install on premises version here https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc-docker, and sell a more complicated Kubernetes-based on prem version of our software, so you control all data. Please feel free to email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with more detailed questions. In particular, it could be that we've already worked with your university to use CoCalc for collaborative Jupyter notebooks for teaching (that's the main thing CoCalc is used for, not latex), and that's something we can discuss in our support channels.

Mail - probably with mailu; and a multimedia server, but I haven't decided yet which one zenphoto? piwigo? lychee? or others?). Maybe seafile, although I probably don't need it given my use now of Syncthing and a backup strategy. And maybe... CoCalc (https://github.com/sagemathinc/cocalc-docker) as it'd be great to be able to run this from any machine, rather than having to manage software for different platforms.

Podman (via podman-compose),

Source code for the feature is here if you care to inspect it:

https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/blob/bce40c2db3...

Admittedly, I'm still on podman 4.3.1, but I dont' see any reason why this would stop working in later versions of podman.

Can someone link me to what Compose means in this context? Google takes me to https://github.com/containers/podman-compose but I just wanna make sure that's what they are talking about.

🛑 Docker Desktop is free for personal use but requires a paid subscription for enterprises. A free open source alternative is Podman and Podman Compose which uses the same core syntax as the Docker tools and can be used as a near drop-in replacement.

I’m dumb. When I wrote the article it was late. Docker-Compose really was a game changer.

Yea Podman compose exists. I’ll add a section about docker compose to it in an update.

https://github.com/containers/podman-compose

From googling this error I've come across a few different threads but I haven't gained any success. Firstly I found this github thread which doesn't reference my error but still seems related. I followed the "sudo podman-compose systemd --action create-unit" and "podman-compose systemd -a register -f myfile.yml" minus the -f flag as it wouldnt run with that. This indeed created a [email protected] file, but its created in the /etc/systemd/user directory rather than /etc/systemd/system which raises an issue as I'm having to run these two containers as root. I try registering the podman-compose@torrent but I'm told the service doesnt exist. Running it as user I'm told it failed to connect to bus: no medium found. So I basically reached a dead end there.

Have a look at Podman Compose

You can also use podman-compose for the orchestration https://github.com/containers/podman-compose
