I’m looking to migrate all of my containers to rootless podman but need some advice.

All of my services are currently running docker compose. I’ve played arount with podman but I am unsure of best practice: I have the option of installing podman-docker, podman-compose, or docker-compose connected to a podman socket. What’s the recommended way here?

I also can’t seem to find any information on setting up a systemd unit for rootless podman compose. How are you all auto starting podman (compose) files?

    I’ve no experience with Podman but genuinely interested why would you use this instead of Docker/Kubernetes?

      The simplicity of docker with much better security. Honestly the main appeal of having my homelab is to play with technologies and learn new things. The couple times I’ve skimmed the docs for Kubernetes it seemed over complicated for a personal homelab.

      One of the big selling point is that it runs without a daemon. Docker always has a daemon running as root activated. How big of a deal that is I’m not sure.
