EDIT: For some context, I recently gave podman another go. I have a few services on my homelab server set up in docker containers, so I tried migrating to podman.
After the second major bug (open issue on github) I encountered looked like it would require completely dropping using compose files to work around, I gave up and went back to docker.
I like the idea of podman, but it’s just not stable. I’ll try again in a year or so.
As a bonus, docker’s CLI is significantly nicer.


With every update they warn that any changes made outside the UI may be overwritten (only data in user directories is safe). I have edited a couple config files over the years that have sticked, but they expect the system directories to stay ‘stock’ and warn of data loss or system malfunction if changed. And since it’s my nas it’s a lot of data to be going yolo on, even with backups. Wayyyy to much risk for almost no benefit.
