Looks like it should work with podman out of the box by setting the DOCKER_HOST environment variable to your podman socket. Or facing any compatibility issues?

I gave it a spin with Podman on Windows and it did indeed work out of box. NO nee

It listed containers, volumes and networks and started & stopped a container. The Terminal item expects the container to have bash, so would need some tweaking to use /bin/sh.

I didn't need to set DOCKER_HOST, but I assume I have the Docker compatibility mode enabled.

modified the code to fallback to /bin/sh if /bin/bash not exists :)

I imagine they'll run into some of the same issues lazydocker [1] did. It seems non-trivial for seamless, comprehensive compatibility.

The only issue I see mentioned when setting DOCKER_HOST to the podman socket is about log-integration not working for all containers, just like with docker? Ie no podman-specific issues.

Some light usage here and no issues so far.
