Just found out that flyctl will build an image locally, if docker daemon is available. I have podman on my system. podman has a docker compatible API. Can flyctl use podman if that’s available? Maybe a config option that can be set in the flyctl config?

Oh interesting. If it exposes the dockerd api over a socket or tcp port you can probably do DOCKER_HOST=tcp://.... flyctl deploy

flyctl should use podman if available
