The main thing I'm missing with podman is gVisor support https://github.com/google/gvisor/issues/311 . Would be happy to switch once that is available!

  🚛 Create & run lightweight Arch Linux containers

I wrote a little tool to make creating and interacting with systemd-nspawn containers easier (on arch Linux only right now):

Not intended for any sort of production. I personally use it to run Firefox inside a container and for testing.

• podman

  358 21,645 10.0 Go

  Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  

I installed Podman 3.3.1 on a Mac yesterday from Homebrew and volume mounts were definitely an issue, but it otherwise worked as advertised on the command-line.

The bugs cited in the article are already fixed in the code, so I don't hold those against it.

I did have an issue that was my fault, encountered one genuine bug, and was disappointed to find that there's some work to be done before third-party tools can use it as a Docker replacement:

https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/11397

I agree that Podman is not yet a complete replacement for Docker on macOS, but the experiment was successful enough for me that I intend to try Podman instead of Docker on Linux servers.

I haven't used any of them, but maybe B.r. works with podman?
