Yes, .. I recall now the discussions about podman; in the SuSE world, it
has never arisen so no experience here.

I had installed "docker", which seems to have installed the compatibility
layer:

$ cat /bin/docker
#!/usr/bin/sh
[ -e /etc/containers/nodocker ] || \
echo "Emulate Docker CLI using podman. Create /etc/containers/nodocker to
quiet msg." >&2
exec /usr/bin/podman "$@"

BUT the docker-compose version above is apparently NOT setup for podman:

$ docker-compose up
WARN[0000] /srv/jitsi/docker-compose.yml: `version` is obsolete
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the
docker daemon running?

The rabbit hole is getting deeper & deeper, .. would Debian would be a
better base OS?

	TIA!!
