unifi-systemd-units VS podman

DUDE...seriously?? It's Debian Linux is the point of what I'm posting. I'm just showing you PREBUILT open source projects. You could write your own script in a day if you understood Linux and read some support materials. And for the record, a 10 second google search shows other well supported open source projects: https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-vyatta-ubnt/wiki/UnifiOS-(UDM,-UDR,-UXG)) & https://github.com/ntkme/unifi-systemd-units PLUS Podman FFS https://podman.io/ ...which basically means you can run hundreds of different services on the devices if you know what you're doing/have a team that does. Which again, means the issue is mainly about support and cost vs benefit. The hardware is solid value for money. The software is freaking Debian Linux.. which most of the internet runs on!

A lot of well-known Docker alternatives emerged at this point, the most commonly recommended of which must be Podman (along with Podman Desktop). This is what I use on my Windows machines, and this was the first solution that I tried on the Macbook as well.

Example of why: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/5102#issuecommen...

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.
