We run Alma Linux 9 and have to install podman-to-docker and download podman-compose as an external binary to run services which is extra steps that aren't really needed. Podman comes with Quadlet which is a way to create and manage docker containers via systemd. There's even a tool to generate quadlet systemd files from a docker command or a docker compose file podlet.

We operate in a strict security environment so downloading / running podman compose is even a bit of a hassle. Supporting this would make it even easier, reduce the attack surface, benefit from all of systemd, and would overall simplify things I think.

Let me know what other details I can provide that would help scope this out.
