I deployed social.aviating.com with podman, learning from deploying social.makerforums.info on docker. There's a distinct possibility that I'll take a 30 minute or so downtime at some point (with notice!) to migrate social.makerforums.info to podman.

@mcdanlj Can you give me some insight here: podman is a Linux docker-type manager?

@kg6hxm podman is an alternative to docker with a different security model. Instead of a single privileged daemon, it has individual utilities. I like its security model better than docker's.

It comes as the out of the box default on Red Hat's various Linux distributions, and they were the primary initial authors.

@mcdanlj Excellent. I'm going to set up my server box and have been trying to learn different VM-type systems that are available. I've already learned a lot from this instance and the infosec one that jerry [at] infosec.exchange is running and documenting.

@kg6hxm my docs are both for single-machine deployments. I would be using Kubernetes ("k8s") to set up a multi-system deployment. There's plenty of opportunity here to learn! 😁
