I'm working on a side project where I need to set up a server for both Golang and Laravel. I've heard some chatter about Podman versus Docker, and I'm curious if anyone has experience with Podman. Are there any significant benefits to using Podman instead of Docker?

For my local development, I prefer using Podman. It feels more lightweight compared to Docker, which I used for a while; I even kept my Docker aliases in place! However, when it comes to deploying on servers, I've stuck to Docker because I eventually transitioned to Kubernetes, which actually uses containerd by default. But I still enjoy Docker for personal projects at home.
That's interesting! I recently started using Podman locally too. Is there any particular reason you're not using it for production?
