Podman actually works really well. Out-of-the-box virtually-no-configuration-needed rootless containers. It's also usable via docker-compose with a single env variable. (podman-compose wasn't up to par for us)
We've been using it for a couple of years running and managing hundreds of containers per server - no feeling of flakiness whatsoever. It's virtually zeroconf and even supports GPUs for those who need it. It's like docker but better, IMO.
Hope it gets a popularity boost from CNCF. Rooting for it.

I think people are missing the contribution of bootc and composefs. This is a big part of what undergirds Red Hat's new 'image mode' means of deployment. They're using container-related tooling to deploy whole operating systems, and it's a large part of where they're headed.
I write this to say, "This is not them dumping abandonware." To me, it's them putting these technologies under the supervision of a neutral third party to encourage adoption.

Is CNCF new Apache foundation? Looks like everyone dumps their stuff there. Does not look promising. Am I missing something? Probably RedHat paid salary to podman developers, but who will pay salary to them now?

Does podman support docker compose files well? Devs love them for local environments.

Reading about Keycloak and how long it is taking to patch critical vulnerabilities, I wonder is CNCF becoming how Apache was - where abandoned open source software goes to die.

This is cool and all I just want to make sure podman and others are maintained and useful. I’m sure they will be it’s just that I use podman every day and depend on it.
I could go back to docker but why?

Usually, when big orgs like that dump their projects to such a foundation (like Apache), it is that they are about to drop investing in support it soon.

Hmm maybe worth switching from Docker Desktop to Podman Desktop...

What took them so long?
