  • Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods

    Your comment gave me the impression that Daniel Walsh made some refutation against that podman-machine is being deprecated, but the Tweet you link to say no such thing, unless it's hidden in some sub-tweet (Twitters UX is horrible to discover things).

    Going straight to the source (https://github.com/boot2podman/machine), it says the following:

    > DEPRECATED (with huge letters)

    > Podman Machine is now deprecated. Users should try using Vagrant instead.

    So one can safely assume that podman-machine is in fact getting deprecated.

  • Docker desktop no longer free for large companies

    Well yeah, sure, but Docker for Mac/Windows installs the VM, sets up host-guest file shares, papers over networking and VPN stuff, etc.

    I was going to say that installing Podman on macOS/Windows leaves the VM as an exercise to the user, but per another comment, there's podman-machine[1], a new-ish built in to setup a VM. However, it's apparently already deprecated (?) and recommends simply 'Vagrant' as an alternative, so seemingly setting up the VM is back to being a user exercise for Podman?
