A simple podman wrapper to make it work with DevContainers. Just a quick way to get Podman playing nice with your dev setup.

Usage

Create a script file at ~/.local/bin/podman-devcontainer (or anywhere in your PATH).
Copy-paste the script in.
In VS Code, add this to your settings (or do something similar in your editor):
```
{
  "dev.containers.dockerPath": "podman-devcontainer"
}
```
Done! 🎉

If you're running distrobox, you'll want to create another wrapper to make sure it runs outside the container:

#!/bin/bash
distrobox-host-exec podman-devcontainer "$@"

This ensures podman-devcontainer runs on the host instead of inside distrobox.

Personally, I use a separate home directory for distrobox, which makes keeping things organized even easier.

Been using this setup for over a year—zero issues. Works like a charm! 🚀
