Hi, I've been thinking for a few days whether I should learn Docker or Podman. I know that Podman is more FOSS and I like it more in theory, but maybe it's better to start with docker, for which there is a lot more tutorials. On the other hand, maybe it's better to straight up learn podman when I don't know any of the two and not having to change habits later. What do you think? For context, I know how containers works in theory, I know some linux I think well, but I never actually used docker nor podman. In another words: If I want to eventually end up with Podman, is it easier to start with docker and then learn Podman, or start with Podman right away? Thanks in advance

In case you haven't started yet. Learn docker, but use podman.

OP, listen to this person. Docker will earn you cash. Podman is nicer to work with for your own shit.

Docker and podman in general work the same, commands are the same, ...

Only biggest difference is that now that I'm trying to migrate from docker to podman is figting over volume binds permissions for databases and such.

Finished migration of 3 containers, 50+ left.
