dockeraccesshelper VS podman-compose

(Optional) If you understand the security ramifications of doing so: give your user account or any other necessary accounts (e.g. other service accounts) privileges to access the docker engine so that you don't need to always need to run in an elevated shell. This repo I found a while back outlines the steps to do so and contains a script for it as well. I imagine you could also play around with what account dockerd runs as and create some custom privileged user groups or something, but that's beyond the realm of what I know how to do and what I've experimented with.

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.

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
