You can set it as systemd socket service, so it doesn’t even run until something tries to connect.

That said, I don’t even bother with that. Podman can run K8s configs, and they are yaml too, only slightly more verbose than a compose file, if you strip everything out you don’t need. The CLI is nicer than compose too, with proper commands instead of tying up a terminal until a ctrl-c.

So you can use kubectl but it talks to podman and not to the api of a k8s cluster? Or does it have its own cli?

There's apparently a 'podman play kube' command that can take some k8s yaml like pod descriptions and instantiate them directly: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-play-kube.1... I hadn't heard of this until now but it sounds pretty nifty!

Exactly. Here's a pod.yaml I use for testing a service at work:

It can probably be even more concise, but I stopped stripping stuff out here.

Wow that's a heck of a killer feature.

Once Podmam implements a replacement for Docker's docker swarm, Docker is effectively deprecated.
