One of the benefits of Podman over Docker is that it can run daemon-less and without root. However, `docker-compose` is by far my favorite way to create and maintain containers. Luckily, the Podman folks emulated the Docker CLI so that `docker-compose` works well with Podman!
|
|
|
|
To install:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install -y podman podman-docker docker-compose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can then emulate the docker socket rootless with the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
systemctl --user enable podman.socket
|
|
systemctl --user start podman.socket
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At this point, we'll want to see if the daemon acts as expected
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
--unix-socket /var/run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock \
|
|
http://localhost/_ping
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should return `OK`. We then need to create an environmental variable to tell docker compose where the emulated docker socket lives.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To have this environmental variable persistent across reboots, add the above line to the user's `.bash_profile`.
|
|
|
|
You'll need a configuration file `docker-compose.yml` defined. Here is a sample one that spins up an image updating service.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
version: "3.3"
|
|
|
|
services:
|
|
watchtower:
|
|
image: docker.io/containrrr/watchtower
|
|
container_name: watchtower
|
|
hostname: watchtower
|
|
environment:
|
|
PUID: 1000
|
|
PGID: 1000
|
|
TZ: US/Eastern
|
|
volumes:
|
|
- /var/run/podman/podman.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
|
|
restart: always
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now we can run `docker-compose`!
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose ps
|
|
```
