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. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • 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.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    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.

    Docker desktop is not. (open source)

    Which can be a pretty big deal.

    This works out to: The product is unencumbered, but the only reliable installer is encumbered as fuck.

    That's a "no thanks", from me.

    I don't need the sword of "Docker fucking with my colleague's ability to collaborate" hanging over each of my projects.

    I'm not mad at folks using Docker for backwards compatibility. I just don't need to make the problem worse.

    I found Docker pretty easy to install. Though apparently it's harder on windows, where they suggest you just use docker desktop, in which case, yeah, fair point. But I'd just put docker in WSL if I had the misfortune of having to use it on Windows.

    [–] mr_satan@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

    That's exactly what I'm doing at work. Works a treat especially since I'm fine with CLI.

    Keep in mind that some WSL configuration might be required for better experience — like setting networkingMode to mirrored.

    Sharing code between WSL filesystem and Windows is still somewhat of a hassle.

    But I'd just put docker in WSL if I had the misfortune of having to use it on Windows.

    Oh, thanks! I might try WSL next time, should I be so unfortunate, again.
