Find a new service you like, add it using rootless podman. That way you can test it without affecting your running system.

I’m eternally sitting here putting off migrating my homelab from docker to rootless podman due to some rather janky patterns I use. It might be super smooth or it might not so instead I just wait in endless decision paralysis

I more mean replacing the runtime etc, I’ve got some running on another machine and had some difficulty wrapping my head around the subuid and subgid stuff, so in theory I should be fine but it’s an irrational worry lol

how are you trying to run podman?
If you just want a similar setup as with docker I’ll recommend this:
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/rootless_tutorial.md
Lingering (running services without login / after logout)
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12001
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/462845/how-to-apply-lingering-immedeately#462867
sudo loginctl enable-linger <user>https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/vendor/github.com/containers/storage/storage.conf
Check out the storage.conf to use the fuse-overlay driver.
I like podman-compose and i have a start up script that restarts all my containers at reboot, as my user.
Also use the full link to your images, like docker.io/image oder where ever you get your images from.
have fun :)

I ended up just adapting my composes to run commands, on my desktop I don’t mind having to manually start them at boot, I could easily make a simple thing to just run at boot and just say
podman run <container>as most of my containers depend on others so I can just start the child-most container and it’ll start them all. I just have some shenanigans where I use one container as a VPN for the other ones, which is a bit messy if using rootless. I’ll have a look into the links and see if there’s anything new in there I haven’t seen before but yeah, nothing unsolveable I’m just needlessly putting things off lol
