We’ve recently started to use containers instead of asdf on Mac for development again, and the setup I’m using is based on podman. We’ve chosen podman because from our perspective it’s easier to use in production when compared to docker, and we wanted to be closer to the production environment on our development machines as well. Since setting this up using Parallels instead of the default QEMU VM’s was rather involved, we’ve summarized all the necessary steps in a blog post for anyone else who’d like to check this setup out.
