I tried to migrate from Docker to Podman 3.4 recently, but just gave up. It just have still weird quirks, containers were exiting without any clear cause, fighting with SELinux... I could not manage portainer.io to get working... the docs are somewhat incomplete...Lack of support in Debian [1] means I can't easily migrate my SBCs either. I have Podman on my radar, will give it a shot next year, so far it still feels still quite bleeding edge. But kudos to red hatters for another major release! [1] Fully knowing there is v3.0.0 in repos for Stable, but switching to Testing just because podman?

I also tried running a service in podman 3.4.2 on ubuntu recently, and I agree that it had a lot of rough edges e.g. ports that fail to publish when restarting a service, podman ps losing track of containers if you ran podman as User= in systemd. There are lots of command incantations that you have to learn when using rootless podman which are not clearly documented (loginctl enable-linger, sudo --user USER XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/$(id -u USER) systemctl --user restart, usermod --add-subuids, podman unshare chown). Hopefully it becomes clearer over time.
