What does HackerNews think of podman-desktop?

  brew install vagrant packer terraform

Podman Desktop is Apache 2.0 open source; supports Win, Mac, Lin; supports Docker Desktop plugins; and has plugins for Podman, Docker, Lima, and CRC/OpenShift Local (k8s) https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop :

  brew install podman-desktop

/? vagrant Kubernetes MacOS https://www.google.com/search?q=vagrant+Kubernetes+macos

You get all that put together one time on one box and realize you could have scripted the whole thing, but you need bash 4+ or Python 3+ so it all depends on `brew` first: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-for-kubernetes/blob/m...

The Ansible homebrew module can install and upgrade brew and install and upgrade packages with brew: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/communit...

And then write tests for the development environment too, or only for container specs in production: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-for-kubernetes/tree/m... :

  brew install kind docker 

  type -a python3; python3 -m site
  python3 -m pip install molecule ansible-test yamllint

  # molecule converge; ssh -- hostname

  molecule test

  # molecule destroy

There are a few cross-platform desktop clients for Podman:

Podman Desktop:

- https://podman-desktop.io/

- https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop

Podman Desktop Companion:

- https://iongion.github.io/podman-desktop-companion/

- https://github.com/iongion/podman-desktop-companion

Question: why was the official Podman desktop app [1] elevated over this app? The Companion app which this post links to appears more fully featured.

For those curious, Podman also has an official GUI currently only available for macOS at https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop
