Developed a Podman-compatible Docker Compose configuration for the HKUDS/LightRAG repository, expanding deployment options beyond Docker. The work focused on creating a dedicated docker-compose.podman.yml file using YAML, tailored to Podman’s requirements by applying a top-level restart policy and omitting the deploy block and host-gateway extra_hosts. This approach addressed Podman’s limitations, enabling reliable local and CI deployments for users preferring Podman over Docker. The configuration was versioned and tracked in the repository, ensuring maintainability and clean project state. The effort demonstrated practical skills in containerization, DevOps, and orchestration tooling, while broadening the project’s accessibility across different runtime environments.
