Most Quickstarts work with Podman, but not all (see #789). After #789, change all remaining quickstarts's text to have Podman as a supported option.

Depends on #789

Podman is still not working reliability in any server test.

Also I would like to understand which dapr community members want this. I feel like Docker is still mainstream, and this just adds more options and conceptual overhead.

I could see a *doc like "Working with Podman as your desktop container engine"

I believe this doc that ranks first in internet search covers us well for users looking for alternatives: https://docs.dapr.io/operations/hosting/self-hosted/self-hosted-with-podman/ Thoughts @artursouza ?

Until Podman cannot be used reliably in automation, it will be hard. But as Docker Desktop has its own licensing issues, I think Quickstarts with a Podman option will be helpful for users that don't adopt Docker Desktop. Maybe we can collect some data on this?

What about Colima? Rancher Desktop? 😄

I think there are several docker alternatives (e.g., see link below) but no clear winner, esp. not on all platforms. (I use Rancher Desktop; podman does not work for me.)

Until there is an acknowledged replacement, I think it would be more appropriate to mention some alternatives in a footnote, but continue to focus the docs on docker.

Users of docker alternatives will translate in their head to whatever they are using.
