Container

Although we enable you to use both container runtimes Podman and Docker it is important to note that only Podman is supported by RedHat. So if you have a critical application and need/want to also rely on Redhat third level support you'd have to use Podman!

Also be aware that _compose_ files and _commands_ can vary between docker-ce and podman!

Docker

Docker-CE will have always the latest features in docker engine and docker compose. The docker repo is enabled by default and the packages can be installed by using follwing code in hiera.

base::pkg_group::extra:
  - 'docker-ce' 

Podman

Podman engine runs "rootless" without any further configuration and is supported by Redhat Enterprise Support. The Hiera configuration to install docker-podman with hiera would look like this:

base::pkg_group::extra:
  - 'docker' 

This will install podman from the appstream repository.
