About:
Podman is a daemonless container engine that supports OCI containers and Kubernetes pods. It provides a drop-in replacement for Docker with a compatible CLI interface while offering enhanced security through rootless operation. The tool enables users to develop, run, and manage containers without requiring a background service.
Key Features:
  • Rootless container execution for improved security
  • Docker-compatible CLI and API
  • Pod management for multi-container workloads
  • Systemd integration for container services
  • Native support for OCI and Docker images
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing containerized applications without Docker daemon
  • Running secure, rootless containers in production environments
  • Managing multi-container pods for microservices architectures
  • CI/CD pipeline container orchestration
Alternatives:
  • docker – Docker requires a privileged daemon; Podman runs daemonless with rootless support
  • containerd – Lower-level runtime; Podman provides higher-level CLI and pod management features
