Comment:
Note that podman starts the socket with hard-coded 0700 permissions, so it's only usable by root by default anyway.

If you want to "replace docker completely", I don't see the problem here as just using podman instead of docker (or even aliasing it) will work. From personal experience, I'd recommend not using the docker client to speak to a podman server if you can avoid it.
