Migration assistant from Docker Desktop

[jeffmaury]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

If Docker Desktop is installed on my machine, I should be able to migrate data from Docker Desktop to Podman Desktop (images,....)

Describe the solution you'd like

A migration assistant should be proposed or user should be able to launch it

Describe alternatives you've considered

My need is for images only so I can do it manually though a sequence of:

• docker save
• podman load

Additional context

No response

Hi @jeffmaury - are you looking primarily to transfer (e.g. migrate the data from Docker Desktop to Podman Desktop) as a copy operation (e.g. leave data in docker but have a copy in podman too) or as a move operation (the data will be moved to podman and no longer reside in docker?) Do you have a use for either or both?

[jeffmaury]

My need is to migrate from Docker Desktop to Podman Desktop so theoretically a move operation but as a user I will not trust a provider to do the move so I would prefer a copy

You could copy images, and I guess export and import containers. Would be a fairly easy bash script to write.

Also need to help when you switch (either way) to which you want to use as default (socket).
