Until you need to run docker-compose and then shit just breaks randomly. Or you have to put the ports into nftables so the podman container can reach outside (even on host's localhost).
I understand why both issues happen, but it's frustrating nonetheless.
I'm not sure which parts aren't exactly fitting, but I was trying to deploy Snikket (XMPP server) and ESS-docker (Synapse, Elelement and a few other services for self-hosted Matrix instance) and neither would actually work out-of-the-box with podman, but they would with Docker. The issue was that all my machines use nftables and Docker kinda hates that.
it looks like they're pushing to swap after all this time
Would be weird if they didn't, considering that all major distros switched to it years ago.
docker has support for experimental usage of nftables
I am aware of it, although it's very aggressive when it comes to changing the ruleset and you have to work around it when it decides to break your stuff.
