I tried Podman on OSX. It was easy to set up but the deal breaker was no bind mounts. I'm sure that functionality will come but for dev purposes it's not a Docker Desktop replacement on OSX just yet.

Yes exactly. I found that lima + docker are the perfect solution for me, in terms of user experience.

When podman will fix this issue (with sshfs like lima does?) I'll return to it

Just so people know, if you use Cockpit on Linux, You can add podman support and it essentially provides a Podman GUI.

This works today, and works very well.

Last time I tried, podman didn’t work on M1 because of a missing upstream patch. I have been able to make Lima work directly out of Homebrew without compiling anything locally.

I've been using podman on wsl2 as my docker desktop replacement _mostly_ painlessly since the news of docker desktop's licensing changes.
