    a bit faster and lighter on resources.

    Can’t confirm. I have two VMs with an identical image (about 200 MB).

    Docker: Pulling the image takes about 10 seconds and needs about 200 MB diskspace.

    Podman: Pulling the image takes about 15 minutes and needs about 110 GB diskspace.

    Docker: Commands like “docker ps”, “docker stop” etc. run in a few seconds.

    Podman: Commands like “podman ps”, “podman stop” etc. take at least one minute.

      Something is super wrong in your setup or some weird Podman bug on your side. Works flawlessly and quickly on my machine, no such issues.

      Company confirmed that it is lighter and faster with multiple benchmark at the time of migration. Your case sounds like extreme misconfiguration.

        extreme misconfiguration

        I did not configure anything, I just installed it from the debian repository.

          If this is on Debian 12 I think the issue is that the default storage backend is VFS rather than Overlay, which burnt me as well as it is REALLY inefficient. Look up how to find out what you’re using and change it if that’s it. After doing that it’s been really good for me :)
