Podman compose issue

[theseeker58]

I'm trying to use podman compose as wrapper around docker-compose. These are the issues I found

Windows 11
If I set "podman compose" (double quoted) in Settings - Containers: Compose Command field, start, stop, restart, down as context menu items work perfectly in the Containers box when Containers tab is selected.
Corresponding context menu items in the explorer when docker-compose.yaml file is selected report an error "The term 'podman compose' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.".
When I remove the double quote in the settings field above the opposite happens. Context menu items of docker-compose.yaml file works fine, while Containers context menu items next to the project name fail with the same error message.

Linux Ubuntu 24.04
With the same settings, only context menu items next to Explorer docker-compose.yaml file work fine. I couldn't figure out how to start, stop, down, etc accessing context menu items of Containers.
Error message is /usr/bin/bash: line 1: podman compose command not found
But when I execute podman compose in the shell outside VS Code everything works fine

Thanks

P.S. It would be nice to have autorefresh in the Containers box, exactly like Docker Extension does

We should look at adding first-class Podman Compose support. Right now we only have an official client for Docker Compose: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docker-extensibility/blob/main/packages/vscode-container-client/src/clients/DockerComposeClient/DockerComposeClient.ts

Hello there,
for the record I use podman compose as a wrapper around docker-compose.exe since podman-compose doesn't allow V2 syntax (i.e. podman compose instead of podman-compose) and furthermore I don't want/need to install python, pip and other stuff like that

This is the output removing warning suppression in containers.conf
