I'm using compose wrong and I know it. (lemmy.one)

For the last two years, I've been treating compose files as individual runners for individual programs.

Then I brainstormed the concept of having one singular docker-compose file that writes out every single running container on my system... (that can use compose), each install starts at the same root directory and volumes branch out from there.

Then I find out, this is how most people use compose. One compose file, with volumes and directories branching out from wherever ./ is called.

THEN I FIND OUT... that most people that discover this move their installations to podman because compose works on different versions per app and calling those versions breaks the concept of having one singular docker-compose.yml file and podman doesn't need a version for compose files.

Is there some meta for the best way to handle these apps collectively?

But how do I convert the docker-compose file to a pod definition? If I have to do it manually, that's a pass because I don't want to do it again if lemmy updates and significantly changes it's docker-compose file, which it did when 0.18.0 came out.
