Any alternative for Windows containers?

Supabase is sort of wonky on Podman

Rancher Desktop was far easier to get up and running on macOS than podman for me. Drop in compatible with docker compose syntax too.

Thanks, I hate it. It might look fine at first but once you need anything more advanced than running a hello world container, it falls apart. Fun fact, there is no set of flags that would correctly build a multi-platform image on both Docker and Podman -- I found out the hard way.

I guess Podman may work if you go all in on it, but pretending that it's a drop-in replacement for Docker will bring you only pain.

docker was harder to pick up than vim but once it works, it just works. podman seems interesting at first but it's a complete mess to pick up and once you pick it up you realize it isn't worth the hassle. more power to podman afficionados but I can't see this taking off

> just convert it to Kubernetes YAML

Either you haven't worked on k8s at scale or you're seriously suggesting an overly complex solution to elegant docker-compose. Docker compose exists because of it's simplicity and stability. I have also started using swarm and it doesn't get the recognition it deserves for the most easy-to-manage orchestration. Podman doesn't have such a thing. And yes, podman-compose is absolute garbage

Isn’t Portman ibm?

Whenever I see portmappings I die a little inside. OrbStack makes so much more sense be default

Sorry, but I tried and just couldn’t get compose and networking to work the way I wanted - as well as permissions, volumes and a lot of other stuff…

ever try to dev with it on a Mac?

haha.

Nope. No thank you. Not sure if Windows has that issue.
