"My girlfriend turned into the moon."

Kimia's father is a stone cold professional. He nailed so many comedic timings.

I run Linux at a workplace that is mostly Windows and some Mac.

Nobody notices or cares.

Everything I need runs in a browser now.

But why does everyone bring up AutoCAD? Lemmy seems to be full of AutoCAD professionals.

I sling code and documents. Linux is better for code and uses Office 365 as well as any other OS.

That's a tough claim to defend, today, while housing, transportation, and food cost more for so many people.

But I'd just put docker in WSL if I had the misfortune of having to use it on Windows.

Oh, thanks! I might try WSL next time, should I be so unfortunate, again.

That's one thing - installing and trying out Podman compose takes less time than remembering where to get Docker compose from.

I always at least try it first, because it's not expensive to try.

Haha. Yes. This meme would be more fair to call "podman compose" out as "we have Docker compose at home".

I'm not a fan of the compose pattern anyway. So it doesn't usually bother me.

Interesting.

I used to do it the way you're recommending (before I had podman compose), but I got tired of installing docker compose, and haven't suffered enough for just using Podman compose, lately.

I do think more things are more likely to work the way you're saying. Compose doesn't seem to be standardized yet? And the original dev was probably using Docker compose - for any randomly selected project.

But when I can get away with podman compose, I do, as I recall it being much easier to setup.

Podman is the RedHat implementation of the Open Container Initiative (OCI).

A Dockerfile and a Containerfile are both OCI. Docker and Podman can generally both use either.

Contrasted with Docker, Podman has better security defaults, and installers and licenses that are both actually open source. (Parts of Docker are open source. Parts are not.)

Docker used to lead with additional features beyond OCI such as Docker Compose, but Podman Compose has been a thing for a while, now.

The more mature a product is, the more likely it works perfectly with any OCI compliant tool.

For rookie work, I feel like there's still fair odds the developer only uses Docker and may rely on some anti-pattern that requires setting "bad security=ok" settings before their project will work in Podman.

Your mileage may vary.

I've had the opposite experience. Good to share our data points, though.

Docker desktop is not. (open source)

Which can be a pretty big deal.

This works out to: The product is unencumbered, but the only reliable installer is encumbered as fuck.

That's a "no thanks", from me.

I don't need the sword of "Docker fucking with my colleague's ability to collaborate" hanging over each of my projects.

I'm not mad at folks using Docker for backwards compatibility. I just don't need to make the problem worse.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe - out of Quark's replicator!
