📄️ Podman and MacOS
Podman is intended as a drop-in replacement for the docker cli and has from the outset had a focus on security and not running anything as root. You can run podman on MacOS using podman-machine instead of needing VirtualBox. The new MacBooks use the M1 or M2 chips, which are based on arm64 chips. This means there is a bit more work to do in order to build images for amd64 architecture.
