podman VS systemd

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!

Retrieve the archive containing the JBoss Web Server from the Red Hat Customer Portal and install the files on the system. Configure the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system including the users, groups, and the required setup files to enable JBoss Web Server as a systemd service. Ensure the required Java Virtual Machine is installed Fine-tune the configuration of the JBoss Web Server server, such as binding it to the appropriate interface and port. Deploy web applications along with enabling and starting the JBoss Web Server as a [systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/) service. Perform a health check to ensure that the deployed application is accessible.

A systemd-free fork from Debian Linux+GNU

Devuan is a fork of Debian GNU+Linux without systemd.

This post shows how to install and run Docker on Devuan, a systemd-free fork of Debian.

I built the dev env on Devuan GNU+Linux, a fork of Debian without systemd. It resembles my past trial on Artix Linux.

Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd and hence Snaps (Snapd). Even on it, it's easy to install Android Studio and start to develop Android mobile apps.

It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux control groups, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. systemd supports SysV and LSB init scripts and works as a replacement for sysvinit. Other parts of this package are a logging daemon, utilities to control basic system configuration like the hostname, date, locale, maintain a list of logged-in users, system accounts, runtime directories and settings, and daemons to manage simple network configuration, network time synchronization, log forwarding, and name resolution.
