alt Hacker NewsOne of the nastiest aspects of migrating from docker to podman really is "what to do about docker compose?" coz there are three wildly divergent ways to answer that all of which really suck under certain specific circumstances.
Im no fan of docker and podman by itself is a step up but orchestration headaches are enough to ruin that.

This is what stopped me from picking up Podman more, all our devs use Docker and have been writing compose files for years now. When the response at the time was "you're using Podman wrong, Quadlets are the hot stuff now" it just felt like too big a risk and commitment to jump to at the time. Have things settled more? Getting away from Docker is a bigger priority nowadays for us.

I don't understand what you're asking here. The answer to that is probably nothing. That is unless you want:
- systemd to manage your containers - You want to use K8s primitives (which are mostly compatible)
I'm unsure what the 3rd method is you're talking about. The nice thing about Podman's compose API is you don't have to change anything (mostly). You can point all your docker tooling to Podman's socket, and it'll (mostly) magically work.
