Hi, I’ve been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it’s better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it’s better to straight up learn podman when I don’t know any of the two and not having to change habits later. What do you think? For context, I know how containers works in theory, I know some linux I think well, but I never actually used docker nor podman. In another words: If I want to eventually end up with Podman, is it easier to start with docker and then learn Podman, or start with Podman right away? Thanks in advance

    Docker and docker-compose. Then learn podman after you have some experience, if you want to…

    Or jump into kubernetes (or minikube) instead of podman if you want to do highly useful things.

    But first, get comfortable building images with a Dockerfile, and then running them in a meaningful way, and networking them, and locking them down.
