Even today, some docker-compose features still don’t work with podman. There’s just an absurd amount of subtleties and edge cases, but pretty much all my usages hit one of these or another.

Biggest reason is that docker / podman/OCI are very different architectures and security models.

I hope there is something new. The tooling and deployment fragmentation is a nightmare.

From a security and open standards pov, we maybe should be moving to podman/OCI.

The docker tooling was often focused on the dev experience and it showed, but it wasn't a system with a good security model and this transition is a large part of that pain.
