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

    You’re using LXC… so you may want to learn about Incus/LXD that was made by the same people who made LXC, can work as a full replacement for Proxmox in most scenarios. Here a few reasons:

    • It is bellow the Linux Containers project, open-source;
    • Available on Debian 12’s repositories;
    • Unlike Proxmox, it won’t withhold important fixes on the subscription (payed) repositories;
    • Is way, way lighter;
    • LXC was hacked into Proxmox, they simply removed OpenVZ from their product and added LXC and it won’t even be as compatible and smooth as Incus;
    • Also has a WebUI;

    Why not try it? :)
