Show HN: Podman Desktop a 100% free OSS alternative to Docker Desktop


Podman Desktop - An open source graphical tool for developing on containers and Kubernetes

Built by a community of developers and shaped by user feedback, Podman Desktop offers a vendor-neutral platform that empowers Containers and Kubernetes workflows without lock-in. Extensive integrations, including VPN and Proxy support for secure networking configurations, streamlined image registry management, and options for air-gapped installations. I have spent a lot of hours trying out various projects in the past few months for my homelab to test some custom workloads.... OpenStack (Devstack), k3s, rancher, portainer, minikube, docker desktop, etc.
