    is podman-compose really dead? Their github page looks active at a glance. The tooling is so similar, I use podman for local testing, and deploy to docker, but I’ve also done the reverse. As long as your not using really exotic parameters its really just a drop in replacement, I’ve even used GPU passthrough for AI project no problem in both docker and podman. At the end of the day, they’re just slightly different frontends for the same backend.

    As far as docker support, its often as simple as just providing a Dockerfile, which is basically the same thing as your build scripts. These days I’ve often used the Dockerfile INSTEAD of the readme to find help compiling some projects.

      It was dead however long ago when I submitted a PR. Still unmerged with no activity on the request so I just never went back to check.

      It’s good to hear that they are working on it again though, if that is the case.
