     Podman is a daemonless, open source, Linux-native tool designed to develop, manage, and run Open Container Initiative (OCI) containers and pods.  One of Podman's greatest advantages is its complete CLI compatibility with Docker. In fact, when building Podman, Docker users can adapt without any significant changes. 

    Migrating from Docker to Podman

    Firstly , you need to note few things before migration. There no On the fly approach to migrate a container from docker to Podman. So lets start the Process.

    Step 1: Commit your Container. 
    It can be useful to commit a container's file changes or settings into a new image. 

    [root@podman root]#docker commit <container ID> <Imagename:tag>
    Step 2: Save the commited images

    [root@podman root]#docker save <Imagename:tag> | gzip > imagename.tar.gz
    Step 3: Now copy these Images to the destination podman server.

    Step 4: Now Load the image to podman

    [root@podman root]#podman load < imagename.tar.gz
    [root@podman root]#podman load < ubuntu-app-v13.tar.gz

    Loaded image(s): docker.io/library/ubuntu-app-v13:latest
    [root@podman root]#
    Step 5: Verify that Image has been uploaded to Podman.

    [root@podman root]#podman images
    REPOSITORY                                               TAG           IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
    docker.io/library/ubuntu-app-v13             latest        c64c20ff4461   4 hours ago      3.35 GB
    Step 6:  Now run your Container in podman server.

    [root@podman root]#podman run -d ubuntu-app-v13 bash
