Was this with podman or rootless docker?
I also would like to switch to rootless, I have some experience with podman and, while I generally like it, it’s not 100% compatible with (rootful) docker, and can have performance issues if you’re not careful, especiallt with certain file systems like btrfs. I wonder if rootless docker is now better than podman, or preferred for some other reason.
I had a forum account from long ago that I barely use and even I was able to vote … so if you had an account there, give it a try and vote!
