Thanks for the links! I’m wondering if anyone has seen any good guides on transitioning from Docker to Podman or another container tool? RedHat has stopped supporting Docker at version 8 and later so alternatives to Docker may become more prevalent soon.

Hello Matt, that's interesting development, Podman is definitely getting traction but I haven't come across any such guide but yes, will do share, if I found one. thanks

Hmmm, I just saw this the other day:
breadnet.co.uk/docker-its-over-mov...

Not very long, but maybe a good start?

Note: these are Mac instructions, so installing Docker on Linux (without Docker Desktop) would be simpler.

Also, the resource issues he mentions as cons are really because he's running on a small VM, which would also be the case with Docker Desktop for Mac. If the Mac has the resources, make the VM bigger!

I was reading this and then saw breadnet float past. That's my site!

You are correct in what you've said about the resources being limited on podman. The reason I pointed that out is on Docker Desktop it's not as obvious, where as when you're running a command; Like this example

Also, if you don't mind me asking, do you have any feedback on the post? Did it lack anything? Thanks in advance!
