Migrating from Docker to Podman

The idea that Podman is "more secure" than Docker is hyperbole. As documented in Arch Linux [0]...

"Podman relies on the unprivileged user namespace usage (CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED) which has some serious security implications..."

A lot of hype around Podman on HN this week (two FP conversations regarding, but nothing "new" with Podman). Seems to be an intentional push to get people talking about it for not much of an apparent reason.

I agree that podman isn’t more secure but the project seems to be more open to contributions than moby.

You can still use podman rootful and use it like Docker. Then there should be not security issues.
