This is an enhancement.

With a newly created project with spring-boot-docker-compose when trying to run the project, one gets the following:

podman-compose: error: argument command: invalid choice: 'never' (choose from 'help', 'version', 'wait', 'systemd', 'pull', 'push', 'build', 'up', 'down', 'ps', 'run', 'exec', 'start', 'stop', 'restart', 'logs', 'config', 'port', 'pause', 'unpause', 'kill')
Error: executing /usr/bin/podman-compose --file /home/italomaia/JavaProjects/blog/compose.yaml --ansi never config --format=json: exit status 2

Basically podman compose does not support never as input for the --ansi parameter. I see this paramenter is set here.

By making the parameters configurable one would be able to make this work with podman compose and create quick solutions when docker/podman compose go out of sync again. There is a ticket to get the other way around working here which is still rolling after a few months.
