Protip: if you want to use Podman (or Podman Desktop) with Docker Compose compatibility, you'll have a better time installing podman-compose [1] and setting up your env like so: alias docker=podman # If you want to still use Docker Compose # export PODMAN_COMPOSE_PROVIDER=docker-compose # On macOS: `brew install podman-compose` export PODMAN_COMPOSE_PROVIDER=podman-compose export PODMAN_COMPOSE_WARNING_LOGS=false Most of my initial issues transitioning to Podman were actually just Docker (and Docker Desktop) issues. Quadlets are great and Podman has a tool called podlet [2] for converting Docker Compose files to Quadlets. I prefer using a tool like kompose [3] to turn my Docker Compose files into Kubernetes manifests. Then I can use Podman's Kubernetes integration (with some tweaks for port forwarding [4]) to replace Do

In Fly To Podman: a script that will help you to migrate from Docker
App Service won't allow the level of privilege needed to start the "head" container that enables container-in-container to work. Options like `--privileged` and `--cap SYS_ADMIN` or mounting special volumes from the host are the first step on "how to escape from a container" so shared container services don't allow them. The options might be more allowable in your own App Service Environment but I don't think the API is even there to set the options in the first place. Container-in-container also pushes a number of responsibilities from the the App Service down into the head container, like ingress, service management, health, logging etc. You might as well run compose/swarm on your own VM(s) than reinvent those wheels. AKS + kompose might be a not too bad option. AKS can deploy on the private vnet and can do private endpoints. The cluste

r will probably fall over once a year for <reasons> but it will mostly manage itself. If you leave k8s to auto upgrade, run a microk8s instance as a test env somewhere and it will hit the upgrade issues before AKS releases a k8s version. - https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/private-clusters...
In How to use Podman inside of a container (2021)
Setting up a kubernetes cluster itself is probably the biggest hurdle. Also, bear in mind if it's just for a single service the resource overhead of kubernetes may be significant, possibly even more than 50%. I'd strongly recommend using a hosted k8s - either GKE, EKS, or I believe digital ocean have just released one. If you want to use an existing VPS just to test it out, see the docs here https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-... Once you have the cluster running, kompose[1] might be a nice tool if you're used to using docker-compose, however I'd say just use it as a guideline - you'll probably want to rewrite most of what it generates at one point or another [1] https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose
