Podman: A Daemonless Container Engine

Podman is an open-source project that is available on most Linux platforms and resides on GitHub. Podman is a daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running Open Container Initiative (OCI) containers and container images on your Linux System. Podman provides a Docker-compatible command line front end that can simply alias the Docker cli, alias docker=podman.

Containers under the control of Podman can either be run by root or by a non-privileged user. Podman manages the entire container ecosystem which includes pods, containers, container images, and container volumes using the libpod library. Podman specializes in all of the commands and functions that help you to maintain and modify OCI container images, such as pulling and tagging. It allows you to create, run, and maintain those containers created from those images in a production environment.

The Podman service runs only on Linux platforms, however a REST API and clients are currently under development which will allow Mac and Windows platforms to call the service. There is currently a Varlink based remote client which runs on Mac or Windows platforms that allows the remote client to talk to the Podman server on a Linux platform. In addition to those clients, there is also a Mac client.
