Im trying to setup podman as a drop-in replacement for docker and docker compose. The 'build' and 'run' commands all work; however, the hot-reloading does not seem to work on podman while it works fine on docker.

dockerfile

FROM node:22-alpine as base

WORKDIR /app

COPY package.lock.json
COPY package.json
RUN npm install

COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "run", "dev", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "3000"]

compose file

services
  web:
    build:
    dockerfile: dockerfile
    volumes:
      - .:app
      - node_modules:/app/node_modules
    ports: 3000:3000

As mentioned, running docker compose up builds and runs the web app fine with hot-reloading. However, running podman compose up will just build and run but without hot-reloading.

What else could I try? Are there any issues here?

  • You can use Node directly here, especially since your setup doesn't seem to be using anything in the container at all. Installing Node is very straightforward and it's usually a single command through your OS package manager. You don't need either Docker or Podman for day-to-day Javascript development.

  • @DavidMaze Of course, but I need it to run it in a container both for local development and other environments. Commented May 26 at 9:13
