Should you have a turkey sandwich for lunch in 2026? I don't know buddy just do whatever. There are ten thousand other sandwiches you could eat surely, but does turkey sound good for you?

Re: Should I run plain Docker Compose in production in 2026?
#12I think many of these issues are also solved by Podman and systemd depending on what kind of "production" you're building for. If you're building a linux-y appliance and you need to run a few containers I think Podman is a much better and more ergonomic way of doing so. I think perhaps that's less true for running a web service (where the linux environment is just a means to that end).
Is there a nice guide for podman that includes quadlets (or saying not to use them?) I find lots of guides stray into things that work on redhat, and on my Linuxes of choice, Raspbian and Ubuntu, things aren't straightforward.
Can't comment on Raspbian, but Ubuntu LTS (has/had) a seriously outdated podman version. This is the kind of nuisance the Debian derivatives have been running into for more than 20 years: they are extremely conservative, and if that is all you need, then that is great, but if not, you'll have to either run the latest Ubuntu (not LTS), or you upgrade to something like fedora.

#13Very cool article. Wish it didn't have silly AI-isms: > This is the shape Distr lands on
It's an AI company, it's kind of expected at this point - who would take an AI company seriously if they don't use AI themselves?
Why do you say it's an AI company? It seems like their business is "Distribute your application to self-managed customers" not especially AI focused.

Is there no upstream package repo like docker has.

Every company these days are AI companies. Even the ones you’d least expect. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98mrepzgj7o

Sure, but you wouldn't just say "Oh they are a Postgres" company because they use that specific database somewhere in the stack.

Is your point that we shouldn't motivate our technological choices? I wouldn't use Docker Compose in production.

Yes. I clearly believe we should not motivate choices in technology.

They said they help deployments for "software companies and AI companies" which I thought was an interesting distinction
