Stop use docker
(lemmy.world)
Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Missing a comma: “Stop, use Docker.” But actually, use Podman.
Relatedly, a 2019 tweet from Solomon Hykes, the creator of Docker: https://x.com/solomonstre/status/1111004913222324225
I think WASM/WASI still has a ways to go before that’s realistic, but I’d keep an eye on them for the future.
As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?
From a practical standpoint I’m really not qualified recommend one over the other, but the licensing is different. Podman also seems to be more “open source-y,” but I’m going on vibes here; perhaps someone more knowledgeable can elucidate.
Why would you recommend people make the effort to switch to Podman if you can't name any benefits of doing so?
I would suggest that if someone is using neither, perhaps consider podman as open source. However, I too would need a reason to move. I mainly use synology for images, so its their container manager, rather than docker but my understanding is its docker under the hood.
