What are options to Docker for local dev due to the licensing changes?
In lieu of the Grace Period for the Docker Subscription Service Agreement Ending soon, what are some viable alternatives to Docker Desktop? I hear about a lot of them including podman etc., but not sure how much of a drop in replacement it would be.
Podman is probably your best bet, but it's not necessarily a drop-in replacement the way I think of "drop-in", at least. But you aren't necessarily getting a desktop app with Podman, so you may want to just try Docker cmd line first.
There is always docker's command line -- it is actually pretty good and not that complex. Yes, there is a bit of the learning curve, but command line ability is pretty useful in general.
Install a Linux VM, run command-line Docker inside the VM.
