I wanted to write a detailed post about the CI setup we use for exercising proposed changes to libpod (podman repo). Unfortunately this topic (and automation in general) is so big, most readers would end up on the floor, sound asleep, in a puddle of their own drool. Instead, I will keep your fidget-spinner twirling, by jumping around several topics.

A new article about how Opvizor installed Podman to run Docker containers. This blog entry at Opvizor looks into their installation process and their early takeaways on Podman.
A new article about how Docker users can use Podman and Buildah on the Red Hat Developer Site. William Henry (@ipbabble) introduces the two tools to Docker users and explains how they can be used to replace Docker and how the two tools are related.
Scott McCarty wrote "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta: A new set of container tools". In the blog Scott introduces the new container tools in RHEL 8 Beta. Spoiler Alert! No Big Fat Daemons were harmed in the examples Scott provides!
Hervé Beraud wrote "How to Hack on Podman, which walks you through contributing to the Podman project.
Both are great reads to help build your container tools knowledge.
This guide shows how to access Podman remotely via the varlink interface with CLI tools and programmatically with python, go and rust.
This should work on Linux, MacOS and Windows 10.
The compatibility matrix shows which feature is supported on which OS in which language.
Note: replace
<podman-machine>in this guide with the IP or hostname of your Podman machine
Brent Baude has written a new article called "Managing pods and containers in a local container runtime" on the Red Hat Developer site. Learn how using pods in Podman can help organize and orchestrate your containers.
This post initially discussed the boot2podman/machine project, which Anders has since deprecated. Starting with Podman v3.3, the podman machine command now does that same function and is part of the Podman project. Please see Brent Baude's update or the podman machine man page on docs.podman.io for more information on how to run Podman machine. The podman-machine command has been deprecated.
In addition, the Podman team is investigating the possibility of creating Podman Desktop. Please see the issue on GitHub, and please add your comments or thoughts to that issue.
More updates are coming, and please keep your eye on the Podman Mailing List and podman.io for further information and developments.
Finally, a very big thank you to Anders for his many contributions to Podman, particularly for his work in getting Podman to work smoothly on macOS.
By using podman-machine and indirectly boot2podman, it is easy to get started with podman even if your local host does not support it...
It will start a virtual machine, with everything to run containers. This includes podman and buildah, and remote access over varlink.
Daniel Koszegi has posted a new blog: "First look at RHEL 8 and Podman". Daniel talks about the RHEL 8 beta and how Podman figures into it!.
Tristan de Cacqueray has posted a new blog: "Software Factory Container With Buildah And Podman". Tristan explains how to use Buildah and Podman to containerize a systemd based service suite.
Emilien Macchi has posted a fourth blog on how his group is running Healthchecks for Podman containers: "OpenStack Containerization with Podman – Part 4 (Healthchecks)". Check it out!
