EDIT: For some context, I recently gave podman another go. I have a few services on my homelab server set up in docker containers, so I tried migrating to podman.

After the second major bug (open issue on github) I encountered looked like it would require completely dropping using compose files to work around, I gave up and went back to docker.

I like the idea of podman, but it’s just not stable. I’ll try again in a year or so.

As a bonus, docker’s CLI is significantly nicer.

      That’s true of all software. It may be subject to restrictions by governments. But in this case, it seems to refer to the fact that the US restricted export of cryptographic software, and seemingly continues to restrict. See also Bernstein v. United States.

      You mean Docker Desktop?

      Also iirc all software developed in the USA is subject to those restrictions.

        …iirc all software developed in the USA is subject to those restrictions.

        Oh, well, I didn’t knew about that, yeah.

        You mean Docker Desktop?

        And, in part yes, but these restrictions also apply to docker-cli and moby, although to a lesser extent

          What restrictions? The ones on all US software or something else?

            As is evident just from the link at the bottom of the notice, it’s about US export controls on cryptographic software, which is a source of contention since the nineties.

              It’s not about personal or commercial use, it’s about whether the government allows exporting cryptographic software. Which it mostly does, but didn’t always, and still has some conditions.

              The Apache License 2.0 does allow commercial use, and basically any other use. Can you say specifically where those restrictions are stated?
