Podman

Daemonless container engine that runs, builds, and manages containers as a drop-in Docker alternative, without a background root service.

Overview

Podman runs OCI containers using the same commands as Docker in most cases, but without a persistent background daemon and with better support for running containers as a non-root user by default - a different security and architecture model than Docker's client-server design. It can also generate Kubernetes YAML directly from running containers.

Podman is a fit for teams that want Docker-compatible container tooling with a smaller attack surface and no root daemon, complementing container-registry and orchestration tools already in this catalog like Portainer and Kubernetes.
