I'm confused at all these comments saying podman is hard to use, I used it a bunch last year and found it a drop in replacement for docker (though I didn't set it up).

I just set up a server running centos that has podman pre installed and I couldn't get it to work without installing additional packages and following guides.

It's not. I mean you could use podman compose but it's no longer developed.

It's not being developed? From their repo it looks like it's still being worked on.
