Total noob question, but is Podman better for these kinds of things? I have some stuff going on a new home server and I'm wondering if I should switch for this new install. For all the noise the anti-Docker crowd makes, it does seem like the vast majority prefer it.

I made the shit Docker crap available for myself and the images are then in sync with the release tags of Haven with Github Actions. 🤙 🫂 nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8
Is now available for v0.4.0.

Well, I don't know Podman. All my setups are with docker compose. Because of that, I've done my best to deliver a possibility for this. But I think Podman is very nice for many things. LNbits also uses it.
I like docker. Cannot complain.
Okay, thanks. I'm just looking for perspective on it. I know Start9 changed to Podman a while back, also. So far my Docker experience has been fine for my simple uses. I like to gather up info from the pros. 👍👍
Ok, I was reading about Podman in bed last night.
It definitely has its advantages, especially when it comes to conserving resources.
It doesn't need a daemon in the background, which already taps resources and therefore offers a single point of attack. The containers start much faster than with Docker.
It will definitely be much better in use on smaller devices, like a Raspiblitz.
It was developed by Red Hat.
I'm already looking into it and may rename the Github project of mine to ‘haven-containerised’ and also make Podman available. But first I have to learn how to build it by default.
Docker is still used a lot on larger servers and is well integrated in some infrastructures.
I think which is ‘better’ is a personal decision, just like a musician decides which music software to use. However, there are advantages of Podman that can be utilised.
Hmmm...okay your interest has me interested. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it. Regardless, I appreciate the work on the containerized stuff. I do better managing that than dealing with shared resources and running new services. This lets me take a stab at Haven.
