Podman is solid, just don't use podman-compose but rather utilize the Systemd integration for container management.
With very few exceptions, it works just as well as Docker these days.
The systemd integration is probably the thing I dislike most about it. ๐ Systemd has no business managing containers IMO, it should manage podman and podman should manage the containers. It's a completely gratuitous mix of concerns but it seems that podman is set on becoming a systemd subsystem... so I'll probably never use it.
On a related note, the systemd expansion is getting ridiculous. It's gotten to the point if you read one day that wayland is being merged into systemd you wouldn't even know if it's a joke.
A container is a service, makes perfect sense for me to manage that via Systemd like all other services.
Sure, anything can be a service if you want it to be hard enough. Like the bootloader.
Bet. Give me puppies as a service.
You might want to avoid looking into systemd-homed
But you don't need to have systemd run anything (except docker or podman itself). Just run containers with "restart: always" and docker/podman will start them on boot, restart them of they fail, and leave them alone if they're manually stopped.
You only need to run compose when you are [re]provisioning a container.
Podman does not start your containrs on boot. You need to do some magic yoursefel. Like a cronjob that starts all containers at boot.
When you used the Podman systemd integration it starts containers on boot just fine. You can even configure it to auto-update containers. Very hassle free.
