## Summary Adds a warning to the Getting Started docs clarifying that **Podman and podman-compose are not supported**. ## Problem Users on Windows using `podman-compose` instead of Docker get errors like: ``` Error: the specified Containerfile or Dockerfile does not exist, ..\..\autogpt_platform\backend\Dockerfile ``` This is because Podman handles relative paths differently than Docker, causing incorrect path resolution on Windows. ## Solution - Added a clear warning section after the Windows WSL 2 notes - Explains the error users might see - Directs them to install Docker Desktop instead Closes #11358 <!-- greptile_comment --> <details><summary><h3>Greptile Summary</h3></summary> Adds a "Podman Not Supported" warning section to the Getting Started documentation, placed after the Windows/WSL 2 installation notes. The section clarifies that Docker is required, shows the typical error message users encounter when using Podman, and directs them to install Docker Desktop instead. This addresses issue #11358 where Windows users using `podman-compose` hit path resolution errors. - Adds `### ⚠️ Podman Not Supported` section under Manual Setup, after Windows Installation Note - Includes the specific error message users see with Podman for easy identification - Links to Docker Desktop installation docs as the recommended solution - Formatting is consistent with existing sections in the document (emoji headings, code blocks for errors) </details> <details><summary><h3>Confidence Score: 5/5</h3></summary> - This PR is safe to merge — it only adds a documentation warning section with no code changes. - The change is a small, well-written documentation addition that adds a Podman compatibility warning. It touches only one markdown file, introduces no code changes, and is consistent with the existing document structure and style. No issues were found. - No files require special attention. </details> <details><summary><h3>Flowchart</h3></summary> ```mermaid flowchart TD A[User wants to run AutoGPT] --> B{Which container runtime?} B -->|Docker / Docker Desktop| C[docker compose up -d --build] C --> D[AutoGPT starts successfully] B -->|Podman / podman-compose| E[podman-compose up -d --build] E --> F[Error: Containerfile or Dockerfile does not exist] F --> G[New warning section directs user to install Docker Desktop] G --> C ``` </details> <sub>Last reviewed commit: 23ea6bd</sub> <!-- greptile_other_comments_section --> <!-- /greptile_comment -->
