How do you feel about having to specify a different file for all of your containers and volumes? Has that annoyed you at all? I agree that pods are really nice, and they should give you a way to generate them from compose YAML.

How do you like the .container files? I hate the idea of having different files for each container, and each volume. They also don’t even support pods and the syntax is just terrible compared to YAML.

My biggest issue with podman is that podman-compose isn’t officially recommended or supported, and the alternatives (kubernetes YAML and Quadlet) kind of suck compared to using a compose file. It makes me way to pour a bunch lf work into switching to using podman-compose. I have no clue why they didn’t just use the compose spec for their official orchestration method.
