People, I know Discourse has standardised on Docker for distribution and support but it seems to me there are some reasonable arguments for also making Discourse available as a Podman container? I would be happy to have a go at producing something if at least one clued-up dev was prepared to help …

[изображение] Stephen: we’re probably fine I don’t exactly know how much effort it needs to support Podman, but I thought enterprise customers don’t like ‘probably fine’ support level. If running RHEL (CentOS) 8+, you’d have to install Docker from an external repo, possibly side by side to P…

Docker is already supported on CentOS 8 and by extension RHEL 8. I’m not aware of any scenarios where you would run the two side by side, am I missing something? It’s probably inaccurate to say that docker has been superseded by podman, only that podman now ships by default. After all, who uses the…

[изображение] Stephen: Docker is already supported on CentOS 8 and by extension RHEL 8 It’s the other way around but the linked RedHat page says, The docker package is not shipped or supported by Red Hat for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. The podman container engine replaced doc…

[изображение] wws: It’s the other way around Check the docker repro, they don’t offer RHEL packages, only CentOS.

Podman is meant to be 100% compatible with docker, so really I am not sure we will need to do anything

Perhaps, edit the installation document a bit to add a reference to Podman installation (maybe just say it’s supported and you’re supposed to replace the command docker as podman somewhere at the beginning), so people don’t wonder if it’s supported or not?

We are not going to take any explicit stand till we test this out As far as I know, nobody ever in the history of humanity tried installing discourse using podman

I think there is some confusion here. We know about Podman, and several people at the team are rooting for it to become successful because that will be good for the whole FOSS ecosystem, but: [изображение] wws: just say it’s supported It is not supported. [изображение] wws: enterprise c…

Even if it’s proven working as-is I would be very wary of any notion of support. Unless Docker abandons Centos/RHEL it’s unnecessary, and even if that were to happen Discourse/Docker wouldn’t be the first app which had requirements at the distro level.

What I find most frustrating here is the amount of speculation vs the amount of work done If you started with this my reaction would be different I have used the official Discourse Docker install for the last 30 days on podman, here are the nits I had, here is what I loved about the setup! The …

Any interest in Podman?

@mcdanlj,

Несколько лет назад я запускал это вручную, но потом оказалось проще использовать версию в Docker… Возможно, стоит попробовать ещё раз…
