I installed Podman Desktop app v. 1.18.1 on macOS Sequoia.
If I execute:
podman compose version
… I get this on the console:
> \>>>> Executing external compose provider "/usr/local/bin/docker-compose". Please see podman-compose(1) for how to disable this message.
>Docker Compose version v2.36.0
I am guessing that Podman is using an implementation of *Docker Compose* rather than its own implementation. (Does Podman even have its own implementation of the *Compose* spec ?)
That message seems to suggest I should call a command podman-compose
. But there is no such command. Running this:
which podman-compose
… results in :
>podman-compose not found
Obviously there is a podman compose
command+subcommand. I used that above for version
. But the message says podman-compose
with a hyphen, a command that does not seem to exist.
So how do I disable that message?
