Yeah, podman’s networking approach sent me back to docker as well. I have a bunch of services that don’t even expose their ports to the local network, they just connect to each other, and only the reverse proxy is exposed. Switching to podman would require me to reconfigure all my port mappings to make sure there aren’t any conflicts, and then update all the references. It’s not a ton of work, but enough to keep me on docker for the time being.
edit: It looks like podman’s networking stack has changed since I used it, so this is almost certainly wrong now
Tbh it’s possible I messed something up, iirc the bridge network I was using wouldn’t work, and it seemed like it would only work in host mode, hence the belief that I needed to remap things. This was over a year ago, and tbh I didn’t try very hard to make it work.
