About podman-docker
From Debian's package description
Podman (the POD MANager) is a tool for managing containers and images, volumes mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers.
At a high level, the scope of Podman and libpod is the following:
- Support for multiple container image formats, including OCI and Docker images.
- Full management of those images, including pulling from various sources (including trust and verification), creating (built via Containerfile or Dockerfile or committed from a container), and pushing to registries and other storage backends.
- Full management of container lifecycle, including creation (both from an image and from an exploded root filesystem), running, checkpointing and restoring (via CRIU), and removal.
- Full management of container networking, using Netavark.
- Support for pods, groups of containers that share resources and are managed together.
- Support for running containers and pods without root or other elevated privileges.
- Resource isolation of containers and pods.
- Support for a Docker-compatible CLI interface, which can both run containers locally and on remote systems.
- No manager daemon, for improved security and lower resource utilization at idle.
- Support for a REST API providing both a Docker-compatible interface and an improved interface exposing advanced Podman functionality.
- Support for running on Windows and Mac via virtual machines run by podman machine.
Podman is a daemon-less alternative to Docker.
This package installs a Docker-compatible CLI interface, capable of running containers locally and on remote systems.
