Description: tool to manage containers and pods
Podman (the POD MANager) is a tool for managing containers and images, volumes
mounted into those containers, and pods made from groups of containers.
At a high level, the scope of Podman and libpod is the following:
* Support for multiple container image formats, including OCI and Docker images. * Full management of those images, including pulling from various sources (including trust and verification), creating (built via Containerfile or Dockerfile or committed from a container), and pushing to registries and other storage backends. * Full management of container lifecycle, including creation (both from an image and from an exploded root filesystem), running, checkpointing and restoring (via CRIU), and removal. * Full management of container networking, using Netavark. * Support for pods, groups of containers that share resources and are managed together. * Support for running containers and pods without root or other elevated privileges. * Resource isolation of containers and pods. * Support for a Docker-compatible CLI interface, which can both run containers locally and on remote systems. * No manager daemon, for improved security and lower resource utilization at idle. * Support for a REST API providing both a Docker-compatible interface and an improved interface exposing advanced Podman functionality. * Support for running on Windows and Mac via virtual machines run by podman machine.
Podman is a daemon-less alternative to Docker.
