This was a great read—thanks for sharing your experience with Podman! One thing worth noting for folks considering the switch: while aliasing docker=podman can work interactively in a shell, it won’t carry over to bash scripts or cron jobs. Aliases are typically not expanded in non-interactive shells unless explicitly configured, which means scripts relying on docker commands will fail unless you either update them to use podman directly or set up a symbolic link or wrapper script. Just something to keep in mind for smoother automation and CI/CD transitions.
