Migration from Docker to Podman Desktop
When you have used Docker in the past, you can continue using familiar workflows with Podman Desktop:
- Importing saved containers to Podman to continue using familiar containers
- Using the
DOCKER_HOST
environment variable to let your tools communicate directly with the Podman socket - Using the
podman-mac-helper
tool on macOS to redirect the Docker socket to the Podman socket - Emulating Docker CLI with Podman to continue using tools depending on the Docker CLI
- Verifying that your tools are using Podman
