    Oh, it’s drag-and-drop only with no keyboard support whatsoever. Changing a variable is hidden beneath 12 menus, and it uses a proprietary IDE that locks up after every click. Looks great in screenshots though!

    You can 100% fire all your developers!*

  • Podman is purposefully built to rely on systemd for running containers at startup. It ties in with the daemonless and rootless conventions. It’s also nice because systemd is already highly integrated with the rest of the OS, so doing things like making a container start up after a drive is mounted is trivial.

    Podman has a command to generate systemd files for your containers, which you can then use immediately or make some minor tweaks to your liking.

    I use podman for my homelab and enjoy it. I like the extra security and that it relies on standard linux systems like systemd and user permissions. It forces me to learn more about linux and things that apply to more than just podman. You can avoid a lot of trouble by running the containers as root and using network=host, but that takes away security and the fun of learning.
