3. more details: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/01/29/podman-kubernetes-yaml/ and the conversion matrix: https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose/blob/master/docs/conversion.md

bad news

Maybe podman-compose isn't needed anymore now :(

IMHO, it's still needed because

• this tool can do different types of mapping and transformations (like add-host to make links work unmodified)
• it has no dependency other than podman (k8s setup is complex).

I've tried kompose, but wasn't able to have the resulting kubernetes files to run local dockerfiles. It behaves like podman-compose right now where it tries to pull containers from a repository. I'm not sure it will be implemented (or maybe it is and I missed something).

I also think that k8s is quite more complex than docker-compose, a bit too much for certain usecases.

also kubernetes isn't able to mount local host volumes?!

Okay, I'm rejecting the good news :D
