@Matt Gowie are you still using Podman? https://github.com/cloudposse/geodesic/pull/795/files

On and off, yes. I will say, once we got rid of docker desktop internally, docker itself isn’t a big deal. It was more the bloatware of the docker desktop VM that we were trying to move away from.

@Jeremy G (Cloud Posse) this is a small PR ☝️ that makes it easier to use Podman and other docker alternatives. Any concerns?

@Matt Gowie I'm a little worried about the slippery slope, here. Lots more than the wrapper to update. Can you achieve satisfactory results with a simple

ln -s /usr/local/bin/podman /usr/local/bin/docker

on your host?

I remember trying that and it not being that simple for some reason. It has been a while. I personally would close that PR as I agree with you Jeremy. If we were more driven to get Podman support into geodesic I'd be pushing for it, but it just hasn't come up as too big of a problem recently and I have team members (myself included) running both.

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) if the simple substitution of

podman

for

docker

does not work without a hitch, I do not want to try to support

podman

this way. It's extra work for us that we won't dogfood and don't have tests for.
