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?
