It’s too late, we can’t contain it
Yeah, that ship has sailed.
Lol

Missing a comma: “Stop, use Docker.” But actually, use Podman.
Relatedly, a 2019 tweet from Solomon Hykes, the creator of Docker: https://x.com/solomonstre/status/1111004913222324225
If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn’t have needed to created Docker. That’s how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing. A standardized system interface was the missing link. Let’s hope WASI is up to the task!
I think WASM/WASI still has a ways to go before that’s realistic, but I’d keep an eye on them for the future.
As someone who has used and loved Docker since 2015, but never used Podman, can you explain the difference and why I might want to make the switch?
If you want to lose most of your tooling and community support, Podman is a great way to go.
From a practical standpoint I’m really not qualified recommend one over the other, but the licensing is different. Podman also seems to be more “open source-y,” but I’m going on vibes here; perhaps someone more knowledgeable can elucidate.
edit: sorry, I replied to the wrong comment.
I honestly and truly don’t want to spend time relearning another system like this, especially one without decades of documentation and support available.
Depending on how old you are, eventually that choice may no longer be up to you.
My plan is to burn out soon, and work on projects for fun/side jobs. Corporate world has absolutely vacuumed my life long passion in the past 5 years.
