There is any "Podman Compose"?

docker docker-compose containers podman

I recently found out about Podman (https://podman.io). Having a way to use Linux fork processes instead of a Daemon and not having to run using root just got my attention.

But I'm very used to orchestrate the containers running on my machine (in production we use kubernetes) using docker-compose. And I truly like it.

So I'm trying to replace docker-compose. I will try to keep docker-compose and using podman as an alias to docker as Podman uses the same syntax as docker:

alias docker=podman

Will it work? Can you suggest any other tool? I really intend to keep my docker-compose.yml file, if possible.

Yes, that is doable now, check podman-compose, this is one way of doing it, another way is to convert the docker-compose yaml file to a kubernetes deployment using Kompose. there is a blog post from Jérôme Petazzoni @jpetazzo: from docker-compose to kubernetes deployment
