Podman doesn't have a daemon like Docker does. It also more tightly integrates with buildah, which the article doesn't expand on. Have a look at this (very brief) overview to get a bit better idea of their relationship: https://github.com/containers/buildah#buildah-and-podman-rel...

Podman also uses the same notion of pods, and it doesn't support docker-compose syntax/files, because RedHat strongly believes that Kubernetes has already won. Basically, podman/podlib allow you an easy migration path from your local computer to a k8s cluster, with the same images and same concepts.

Could you expand on that please? Almost everything I run locally (be it a self-hosted service or app devel) with docker is a docker-compose stack. It allows me to easily manage/monitor services via CLI or Portainer. How does Podman and other modern tools offer to solve this case, or is it proposed now to use K8s locally?

I got enthusiastic about Podman not having a daemon and running Podman containers as a non-root user[1].

The second link is the same as the first, did you mean to put a different one?
