Podman instead of Docker

[deadeyesky]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not quite. All I was thinking is having this work with Podman so that I can migrate my existing architecture to it to make it more secure and lightweight.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want there to be a guide on how to use Podman (rather than Docker) as the container ecosystem for Nanocl to be installed on.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not applicable.

Additional context
When I run sudo nanocl install --docker-host unix:///run/podman/podman.sock I am able to install on to Podman, but when I try to run a service or start a container it throws a strange error:

$ nanocl cargo run my-cargo nginx
[404 Not Found] v0.12.0 is not supported

I understand that this may have to do with a version issue, but I thought I should include it so that a tutorial could be made on how to install it correctly.

Hey thanks for the report i will take a look into it!
Would you like to work on the documentation for it ?

[leon3s]

I was able to install and use it with ease using the v0.13-nightly on Podman.
The error you got is because you probably have an outdated version of the daemon.
Can you run a

nanocl version

I have updated the doc to mention podman, the last stable version should work properly with it now!

Yep I got 0.13.0 installed and it seems to install except it gave me a /run/nanocl/nanocl.sock: Connector has been disconnected error. Any remedy for this or do you think that I should try to reinstall? Perhaps a subsidiary to this whole project would be an advanced log folder to show the installation process or something, unless it already has that.

The best you can do right now is:

nanocl uninstall --docker-host unix:///run/podman/podman.sock
# Remove old state
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/nanocl
nanocl install --docker-host unix:///run/podman/podman.sock
