Podman is a free and open source alternative to Docker, created by Red Hat.

One of the things which potentially prevented many to migrate from Docker to Podman, was the lack of a full-fledged Podman equivalent for docker-compose. By creating a layer of compatibility between Podman and Docker, it is now actually possible to user docker-compose as if it was a Podman native tool.
