Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

just curious; why would you like to use podman over docker? I have a lot of docker containers running, wondering if I should switch to podman.
No daemon needed, better security because of rootless approach, but well docker also runs rootless nowadays. Podman came up from frustration from Red Hat over docker, that’s why they developed their own thing. Afaik it is nearly full compatible and can be used as a drop in replacement for docker.
interesting! So I should be able to throw my docker-compose yamls directly at Podman and be good to go?
No, docker-compose is where Podman differs. There are some 3rd party attempts to make it compatible via podman-compose, but most people agree that the Systemd integration of Podman is better anyways and if you really need advanced orchestration then you can use K8 helmcharts with Podman.
That is not true anymore. https://podman-desktop.io/docs/compose/running-compose
Is that a podman-desktop exclusive feature?
Dont think so. Desktop application relies on podman
A couple of reasons - I switched from Pop! OS to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and the Docker version in the repository is 24.07 compared to 25.02 (the current version of Docker) with the official Docker site only supporting SLES on s390x, not Tumbleweed on x86_64. The main reason though is that it can run without root which is appealing; apparently I have a lot to learn on setting that up. The glib statements of 'drop in replacement' that I"ve seen isn't quite accurate apparently outside of the commandline options.
