Podman CLI

Podman·Podman.CLI

A daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers

Podman is a daemonless, open source, Linux native tool designed to make it easy to find, run, build, share and deploy applications using Open Containers Initiative (OCI) Containers and Container Images. Podman provides a command line interface (CLI) familiar to anyone who has used the Docker Container Engine. Most users can simply alias Docker to Podman (alias docker=podman) without any problems. Similar to other common Container Engines (Docker, CRI-O, containerd), Podman relies on an OCI compliant Container Runtime (runc, crun, runv, etc) to interface with the operating system and create the running containers. This makes the running containers created by Podman nearly indistinguishable from those created by any other common container engine.

Release Notes

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where Podman Machine VMs on Mac using the libkrun provider could be regularly turned off by a port-scanning process on the host unintentionally commanding the VM to shut down.
  • Fixed a bug where the podman machine init command would fail on Windows hosts when using the hyperv provider when WSL was not installed (#29053).
  • Fixed a bug where the podman machine init command would fail on Windows hosts when using the wsl provider when the user was a Hyper-V admin but Hyper-V is disabled (#29138).
  • Fixed a bug where error messages from the OCI runtime were sometimes not displayed when --log-level=debug was passed to Podman.
  • Fixed a bug where the podman machine os upgrade command did not function properly (#29085).
  • Fixed a bug where the default image used by podman machine was not being properly cached (#29090).
  • Fixed a bug where rootful Podman Machine VMs on Windows using the wsl provider would fail to start (#29003).
  • Fixed a bug where commands that did not support the --replace option would incorrectly suggest using that option in error messages (#24537).
  • Fixed a bug where the Pesto rootless port forwarding tool (enabled by rootless_port_forwarder=pasta) did not properly clean up rules on container restart and network reload, causing failures to forward traffic (#29032).
