For about a decade, “containers” and “Docker” were synonyms in most people’s heads, mine included. You installed Docker, you ran docker run, a daemon somewhere did the work, and you didn’t think too hard about the fact that the daemon ran as root and you were talking to it through a socket that was, functionally, a key to the whole machine. Podman is what you get when someone looks at that arrangement and asks why it has to be like that. The answer, it turns out, is that it doesn’t.
