Podman or rootless docker?

I’m moving to a new machine soon and want to re-evaluate some security practices while I’m doing it. My current server is debian with all apps containerized in docker with root. I’d like to harden some stuff, especially vaultwarden but I’m concerned about transitioning to podman while using complex docker setups like nextcloud-aio. Do you have experience hardening your containers by switching? Is it worth it? How long is a piece of string?

Podman actually run fine on Debian 12. Though the packaged version is a bit old. Does not support podman compose command. Though podman-compose works.

podman-compose is packaged in a separate podman-compose package in Debian 12 (did not try it though). The only thing missing (for me) in Debian 12 is quadlets support (requires podman 4.4+, Debian 12 has 4.3)

You are right. Quadlets require 4.4, Debian 12 has 4.3
