podman VS podman-compose

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!

Podman (via podman-compose),

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

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
