Install the podman-docker package to emulate the Docker CLI using Podman.
Install podman-docker
dnf -y install podman-docker
The docker command is installed as a script that executes Podman:
cat /usr/bin/docker
The script shows a warning message by default. To suppress it, create the /etc/containers/nodocker file:
touch /etc/containers/nodocker
Test the docker Command
All standard Docker commands work, routed through Podman:
docker images
docker ps -a
docker run centos:stream10 /bin/echo "Hello from Docker CLI"
Compatibility covers most common Docker CLI operations including pull, run, exec, build, push, login, and network/volume management.
