Well rootless podman works before 1.0, but we have had many issues to work out. Overall it works very well.

Yeah, basically the "sudo" commands all over the Internet are just legacy. Historically, root was required (like docker - most people don't understand they are talking to a daemon which has root), but recently we added running as a user (aka rootless). Still the vast majority of docs you will see will refer to running with sudo or as root.

That should change as rootless matures.

Since there are two redhat/podman powerhouses in this thread, first of all thanks for all the hard work! It's not like I'm anti-docker, but it has some hangups that I'll be happy to get away from when I have the chance. I feel like being tied to docker for so long made it harder to understand other tools like ctr/critool/containerd early on.

Second thing -- I haven't 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?
