I can't use the command `podman compose` in RHEL 9

It seems I can't use the command podman compose in RHEL 9. If I understand correctly, podman should provide a wrapper for docker-compose and podman-compose as stated here: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-compose.1.html

However, when I try to execute the command podman compose I get an error:

[root@homeserver ~]# podman compose
Error: unrecognized command `podman compose`
Try 'podman --help' for more information

I installed podman-docker and docker-compose (as standalone) and I'm able to run compose files via docker-compose. I'm curious about that wrapper though.

Am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • I've just found the issue: podman compose command is available only with podman version 4.7.0 and newer. I'm on RHEL 9 and official repos only offer version 4.6.1.
