Podman or rootless docker? (lemmy.ca)

I’m moving to a new machine soon and want to re-evaluate some security practices while I’m doing it. My current server is debian with all apps containerized in docker with root. I’d like to harden some stuff, especially vaultwarden but I’m concerned about transitioning to podman while using complex docker setups like nextcloud-aio. Do you have experience hardening your containers by switching? Is it worth it? How long is a piece of string?

Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

    Yeah quadlets are pretty cool. I have them organized into folders for each pod. podman auto-update is also another pretty nice feature. I don't use the systemd timer for auto-update. Instead I just do podman auto-update --dry-run to check for updates and update my quadlet files and configs if any changes are required then I run the updates with podman auto-update.
