Just make sure you’re using a relatively new version of Podman, v3 had some issues with sockets on Debian and CentOS

It works perfectly fine if you install docker but just the CLI (e.g. on debian docker provides a package for that in their deb repository).

Then you can use docker contexts to make the default context your podman socket. Then you just use `docker compose` as you normally would. I usually use this with rootless podman installs.

I use it every day, it has been working flawlessly for me for ~2 years.
