  9. …any special handling of symlinks is just odd. [Disclaimer: The above is my personal opinion.] [1]: https://github.com/containers/libpod/pull/3214 [2]: https://github.com/moby/moby/pull/5720

  10. …see the strace snippet at the bottom of https://github.com/varlink/linux-varlink 1: https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/cmd/podman/...
  11. …containers using user namespaces. It's actually pretty easy to setup too, especially on Arch: https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/rootless.md

  12. Comparing the shortcomings of rootless podman ( https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/rootless.md ) and rootless docker, they seem almost the same. So this argument may not count, the daemon argument however applies.

  15. I just looked at https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/docs/tutori... . For debian/ubuntu users (of which there are a fair quantity) whilst podman's install process looks like that, I don't see it taking over from Docker any…

  16. …looked into it much but do you know how the docker in docker support is in podman? Is this thread ( https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/746 ) the right one to watch?
  17. …setcap, symlinks, etc.) and compares vfs vs fuse-overlayfs vs in-kernel overlayfs vs docker? [1] https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues/2015
  18. …if not most, operations should not require sudo as of version 1.0. For example, try the commands at https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/docs/tutori...
  19. podman: https://github.com/containers/libpod
  20. …in a similar fashion to how Docker is right now. But it'll take some time to pull that off. [1]: https://github.com/containers/libpod [2]: https://github.com/projectatomic/buildah
  21. A good alternative to Docker is podman the cli built on top of libpod ( https://github.com/containers/libpod ). It has the same api than docker but lets run build and run containers without the need to have root permission.
