Podman is a free and open source alternative to Docker, created by Red Hat. Although Docker is probably more widespread, to the point that it became a synonym for “containers”, from a technical point of view, Podman is superior: it was designed, right from the start, to be daemonless, it is able to run without the need for root privileges, and is better integrated in the Linux environment. One of the things which potentially prevented many to migrate from Docker to Podman, was the lack of a full-fledged Podman equivalent for docker-compose.
