“Hey podman is a drop in docker replacement the same commands should work fine.” tries to pull a container “AAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

For all of these ecosystems, sometimes there is little replacement for just doing it yourself. Especially if you don't do things exactly their example way.

@souldessin unfortunately, I’ve never gotten my head around containers and right now they’re a means to an end (getting stable diffusion to run locally) rather than an end in themselves. I had podman already installed and switching it out with docker was a dependency conflict, but it kept throwing errors at me just trying to pull the container so I ended up replacing with docker just so I could keep following the tutorial given- I’ve tried running stable diffusion outside of a container and conda doesn’t work, so that wasn’t an option, and I’m running it on an AMD card which means I’m already making things a bit more complicated.

@lucifargundam @souldessin I got something working eventually. My 12gb gpu can only output 512x256 max resolution with it but it’s giving me outputs so that’s progress.

I like docker because so many self hosted services are being built with conflicting backends. One uses Apache and another nginx. One mariadb another postgres. Now I don't need a bunch of personally maintained VMs to manage it all.

I'm finding that things like podman are just another muddling layer on top of an already complex set. Worst is when it doesn't work right away, like the docs say it should. I'm at the point that I stick with the core tech. Screw "3 easy steps."
