Using Podman, Compose and BuildKit


For my day job, I need to build and run a Docker Compose project. However, because Docker doesn’t play well with nftables and I prefer a rootless + daemonless approach, I’m using Podman.

On Arch Linux, this can be achieved by enabling the Podman socket and creating a new Docker context (same as setting DOCKER_HOST, but more permanent): I plan to use it for soju-containers in the future, to better split my Dockerfiles (one for the backend, one for the frontend) and remove the CI shell script (which contains a bunch of Podman CLI invocations). This year there was another “Display Next Hackfest”, this time thanks to AMD organizing and hosting the event at their office in Markham, Toronto.
