The problem with making this work, IIRC, is that Docker Compose doesn't actually "compose" Docker commands, but instead _re-implements_ a bunch of functionality itself through its Python libraries. So you'd actually need to bring your own CLI-compatible Docker Compose implementation for Podman rather than just making your Docker replacement compatible.

Podman solved this by just re-implementing docker’s socket API (which does mean it now requires a daemon to use compose) https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/podman-docker-compose

In addition to the sibling comment (which mentions that you can use the original docker-compose) such a CLI-compatible reimplementation also exists [0]. It's not always a 100% drop-in replacement, but gets you pretty far in my experience.

Anecdotally I can say that I ran into issues with fairly simple files (2 years ago). I’m going to try out the alternatives before coming back to this.
