g VS podman

The purpose of a version manager is to help you navigate or install any tools for development easily. Version Manager can be one tool for each dependency (e.g. NVM, g) or One tool for all dependencies (e.g. asdf, mise).

I really like g: https://github.com/stefanmaric/g It’s simple, fast to use, and reliable.

If you are using a Unix based system you can use: https://github.com/stefanmaric/g I use it daily and works like charm, I only had some problems using `godoc` but it is solveble if you set the GOPATH to the go location and not the g installation directory

Don't use Brew for Go! Brew is great for a lot of things but but not for Go installation. So far this is the best Go version manager i've found. It can be nice to have different versions easily available. https://github.com/stefanmaric/g

I used this, easy and stable https://github.com/stefanmaric/g

Whatever the language, I find that using a version manager reduces stress considerably. This is the one I use, but there are others: https://github.com/stefanmaric/g

Podman

Even though we will focus on Docker for this article, I wanted to mention that there are more container creation and management tools such as Podman, Rkt, and so on.

By using containerization, the application will always have the same configuration that is used in the development environment and production environment. There is no more "It works on my machine". Some examples of containerization technologies are Docker and Podman.

Podman Documentation. Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers on your Linux System.

AFAIK podman either already supports pods in quadlet container files, or will in the near future. https://github.com/containers/podman/pull/20762

Podman as a devcontainers engine doesn't currently work if you use devcontainer features [1] or (and this sounds like you're issue) if you use WSL2.

I haven't submitted the WSL2 issue to the Podman team yet. If you get to it before I do, can you like it here?

You can also use their Oracle Linux Docker images with the database preinstalled using either Podman or Docker. Just make absolutely sure you are downloading something you are licensed to use, because it seems really easy to accidentally infringe copyright via this method.

It's an open source project. https://github.com/containers/podman and https://podman.io - go there, get engaged, see what's going on and most important become part of the community and contribute!
