---------------------- Based on the information available, it seems that Garden currently does not officially support Podman. There is an open feature request on GitHub for Garden to support alternative container CLIs like Podman, but as of the latest comments, Podman remains unsupported (source ()). However, there are discussions and efforts in the community to make Garden work with Podman. Some users have tried to use Podman by setting the DOCKER_HOST environment variable to the Podman socket, but this approach has not been officially validated or supported by the Garden team (source ()). As for using Garden without Kubernetes, the CEO of Garden.io, Jón Eðvald, has mentioned in an interview that you don't necessarily need Kubernetes on your desktop to use Garden (source ()). For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend checking the official Garden documentation or reaching out to the Garden community directly. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
