Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Ive recently replaced my docker setup on Linux with podman and as was said this isn't entirely true. Running as user is actually a good thing but Podman machine allows root like you're probably used to and the docker compatibility seems pretty good.
The networking seems a bit less stable with like wifi network changes and stuff but its definitely something to keep an eye on and give a shot as a more open alternative.
I don't have much experience with podman in production. I use podman to spin up some web tools locally on Linux computer startup (so I have my own searxng only for me). It is a great tool.if you need to spin up something in user space, and because of that, it actually consumes slightly less RAM in general.
About the docker: I never used it as rootless. I'm not sure, but documentation probably said that it is partially or not fully supported or lacks some features or something like that. Anyways, I just run it as root, just because everyone is using it (by everyone, I mean stinky enterprise nerds that do their silly .sh scripts only for docker).
I had some troubles with networking and volume mounts in podman BTW, mostly permissions issues. I guess it makes sense, when a container, tries to create a root file on a rootless podman host and fails.
Though docker is not really fully open source AFAIK. Maybe its source-available, but I remember some bullshit about it.
