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?

I'm actually in the process of switching over from docker to podman. Its definitely a learning curve, ie. Setting up systems integration etc.

I do love it but its been a bit of a pain, for instance I'm still trying to figure out the errors I'm getting when trying to deploy my matrix and vikunja containers, I'm getting permission errors and can't find dB errors. I k ow little about podman right now but I would definitely recommend it since it is open source and runs rootless by deafult.
