I've edited the title to add more information on macOS. With this release we now implement Podman 5.1.0 which includes a MASSIVE speedup for AMD64 builds / running containers as well as improvements to the podman networking stack.
It now has a full Kubernetes GUI interface now, is open source (and forever will be), and the benefit is that you can manage your local containers too!
How would one add Authentication / Database support?
You obviously have the router for the front-end, but with Echo, how would one add authentication support, or should I just look at a different stack such as Django or Ruby on Rails with multiple auth / ORM middleware and use Go as a back-end?
Got to ask about the elephant in the room, but what do you use it for / host?
Personally, I'm thinking of building a FreeNAS for photo storage / media, but unfortunately I've only got a four-drive array SuperMicro rack server (spare one I have from decomissioning a business).
Other things I'm interested in is perhaps hosting a few gaming servers and such for friends/family (Minecraft, etc.)
Hard to find uses for it other than offline-lowpower-media-storage.

We’re also starting to see other projects adopt a “OS as a Container image” such as Bazzite: https://bazzite.gg/ using bootc :)
Feel free to ask any questions!
