Docker compose is so nice though

You can use docker compose with podman, or use podman compose.

Yeah, compose has been an open standard for a while now, that's why docker started* pushing you to rename your files to compose.yaml rather than docker-compose.yaml.

That’s really cool of docker to do

If you need a collection of containers run it as a k8s pod.

Trying to do a small thing in k3s is super simple. Trying to do a big thing in docker compose is awful.
