When I was first learning to use Docker, I didn’t realize that most tutorials that include a database don’t configure the database to persist. Imagine my surprise when I couldn’t figure out why the database kept getting wiped!

Interesting — coming from the Linux world where docker is an ‘apt install’ away, I struggled with docker installation on Mac and settled on their client because of various “gotchas” I saw online. And even then got pissed because the client overwrote my local ‘kubectl’ bin.
Guess I’ll have to reevaluate.
It’s been a drop in replacement for me as far as I can tell. I have had one problem with Docker since I switched to Rancher Desktop on Mac that a coworker didn’t (I assume they use Docker Desktop) but I’m not convinced it was due to Rancher (something about some sftp containernand file permissions).
Podman is just as easy to install–admittedly they give way more support for Ubuntu and Fedora than other platforms (unfortunately). But once you’ve switched, you won’t go back; it really is a ‘seemless’ transition, and you can use the same dockerfiles and docker-compose files with it.
