1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Every time I use podman (sh.itjust.works)

    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.

    a bit faster and lighter on resources.

    Can't confirm. I have two VMs with an identical image (about 200 MB).

    Docker: Pulling the image takes about 10 seconds and needs about 200 MB diskspace.

    Podman: Pulling the image takes about 15 minutes and needs about 110 GB diskspace.

    Docker: Commands like "docker ps", "docker stop" etc. run in a few seconds.

    Podman: Commands like "podman ps", "podman stop" etc. take at least one minute.

    Company confirmed that it is lighter and faster with multiple benchmark at the time of migration. Your case sounds like extreme misconfiguration.

    extreme misconfiguration

    I did not configure anything, I just installed it from the debian repository.

    If this is on Debian 12 I think the issue is that the default storage backend is VFS rather than Overlay, which burnt me as well as it is REALLY inefficient. Look up how to find out what you're using and change it if that's it. After doing that it's been really good for me :)

    [–] katze@lemmy.4d2.org 1 points 1 day ago

    I am on Debian 13, but the storage might be the issue.

    Something is super wrong in your setup or some weird Podman bug on your side. Works flawlessly and quickly on my machine, no such issues.

    [–] Allero@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    And on most people's machines too. So, this must either be an exotic Podman bug, or something not right with your setup. Not many options there, but I hope you'll find out what's wrong.

    I'm not op. I just like to use the meme when I see the meme.

    How exactly is it using four orders of magnitude more space? Did you look what the files?

    [–] katze@lemmy.4d2.org 1 points 1 day ago

    It is the ~/.local/share/containers folder.
