Documented steps
Ensure a compose provider is installed: podman compose invokes an external engine, so install docker-compose or podman-compose first.
From the directory containing compose.yaml run podman compose up -d, passing normal compose arguments straight through.
Check status with podman compose ps and tear the stack down with podman compose down.
Force a specific provider with the PODMAN_COMPOSE_PROVIDER environment variable or the compose_providers field in the engine section of containers.conf.
Known gotchas
podman compose is a thin wrapper: it executes an external compose provider configured to talk to the local Podman socket, so the provider's own supported options and limits apply.
docker-compose takes precedence over podman-compose when both are installed.
By default podman compose prints a warning that it runs an external command; silence it with compose_warning_logs=false or PODMAN_COMPOSE_WARNING_LOGS=false.
Run podman compose --help to list the options the installed provider actually supports.
