Having installation issues, Docker gave oddish error reports, though I will guess that the main issue was lack of drive space. In the meantime, I tried Podman Desktop, which seemed better at guiding with installation issues, but once going, I was lost at figuring how to set up self-hosted containers. Seems Podman is more for developers, and I didn't want to spend much time. Docker is more clear for usage.

It provides a straightforward GUI (Graphical User Interface) that lets you manage your containers, applications, and images directly from your machine. Docker Desktop can be used either on its own or as a complementary tool to the CLI.

Docker Desktop reduces the time spent on complex setups so you can focus on writing code. It takes care of port mappings, file system concerns, and other default settings, and is regularly updated with bug fixes and security updates.
