About:
Podman Compose is a Python-based tool that enables the use of Docker Compose files with Podman, a daemonless container engine. It translates standard docker-compose.yml configurations into Podman commands, allowing users to manage multi-container applications without requiring a Docker daemon. This provides a seamless migration path for developers looking to leverage Podman's rootless and security features while maintaining their existing orchestration workflows.
Key Features:
  • Parses standard docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.override.yml files
  • Executes Podman commands to manage multi-container application lifecycles
  • Supports rootless operation for enhanced security
  • No daemon required, aligning with Podman's architecture
Use Cases:
  • Migrating existing Docker Compose projects to a Podman-based environment
  • Developing locally with multi-container stacks using rootless containers
  • CI/CD pipelines targeting Podman for container orchestration
Alternatives:
  • docker-compose – Requires a Docker daemon; Podman Compose is daemonless and integrates directly with Podman
  • Podman native pods – Podman native pods offer similar grouping but require manual configuration; Podman Compose uses standard compose files
