+# Pre-requisites on the host machine

+# Since the sysctl option cannot be set and podman needs additional privileges to bind
+# to ports lower than 1024, the following options need to be set:
+#   sudo sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=25
+#   sudo sysctl net.core.somaxconn=4096
+#
+# Apparently compose extends instead of overrides (except for volumes), see
+# https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/3729
+# Because of that, the patch-docker-compose-for-podman.sh script exists to remove these options from the original
+# docker-compose.yml
