By default podman needs the full URL to pull in a docker image. So instead of:
podman pull budibase/budibase
you need:
podman pull registry.hub.docker.com/budibase/budibase
To configure podman to to check the docker registry by default amend:
/etc/container/registries.conf
And add the following
unqualified-search-registries = ['docker.io']
[[registry]]
prefix = "docker.io"
location = "docker.io"
