How To Start Containers with Podman At System's Boot
Introduction # Let’s continue with the series of blog posts about moving from Docker to Podman.
Today I’ll cover a short issue which might help you with your transition:
Why --restart unless-stopped doesn’t work??
Let’s say you read that Podman’s command line API is 1:1 compatible with Docker’s and you ran your container as always, but you realised that it didn’t boot up automatically after a reboot of the system as it was happening when using Docker. Well, this was something to be expected as we moved from a container manager that runs as a daemon to another that runs as a regular process.
How To Migrate From Docker To Podman
Introduction # In this blog post, I’ll explain the steps that I followed to migrate from Docker to Podman. Whether you are a sysadmin or a regular developer, I’m quite sure that you’ve heard of Docker before. It’s a great piece of software, and it really helped to improve and simplify software delivering. Believe me, I was there before Docker exists, and it was quite chaotic.
Then, why to move away from Docker? Well, if you’re after better integration with the system, like using systemd, or if you’re after more security options, or if you prefer software that doesn’t use daemons, then Podman is definitely worth a try!
Shortbot Meets DBs
Introduction # The IbexShortBot was a stateless bot. A stateless bot doesn’t keep any sort of information of the users. It just replies to the user’s requests, one at a time. Despite that design decision made the bot very restricted on its features, it helped me to focus on delivering a solution as quickly as I could, to attract investor’s interest on using the bot.
The bot has been used for six months and the user’s feedback is positive. That’s enough for me to decide to take it a step further.
