Docker Desktop on Linux? (piefed.zip)

After trying out Cosmos Cloud (and it not working for the clients), I'm back at square one again. I was going to install Docker Desktop, but I see it warns that it runs on a VM. Will this be a problem when trying to remote connect to certain services, like Mealie or Jellyfin?

I don't have much experience with podman in production. I use podman to spin up some web tools locally on Linux computer startup (so I have my own searxng only for me). It is a great tool.if you need to spin up something in user space, and because of that, it actually consumes slightly less RAM in general.

About the docker: I never used it as rootless. I'm not sure, but documentation probably said that it is partially or not fully supported or lacks some features or something like that. Anyways, I just run it as root, just because everyone is using it (by everyone, I mean stinky enterprise nerds that do their silly .sh scripts only for docker).

I had some troubles with networking and volume mounts in podman BTW, mostly permissions issues. I guess it makes sense, when a container, tries to create a root file on a rootless podman host and fails.

Though docker is not really fully open source AFAIK. Maybe its source-available, but I remember some bullshit about it.
