- Description:
- Podman (Pod Manager) is a fully featured container engine that is a
simple daemonless tool. Podman provides a Docker-CLI comparable
command line that eases the transition from other container engines
and allows the management of pods, containers and images. Simply put:
alias docker=podman.
Podman uses Buildah(1) internally to create container images. Both
tools share image (not container) storage, hence each can use or
manipulate images (but not containers) created by the other.

Podman can restart containers after a host is rebooted. To enable this, use:
$ sudo sysrc podman_enable=YES
and start the container with a restart policy:
$ sudo podman run -d --restart=always myimage
It is possible to run many Linux container images using FreeBSD's Linux emulation:
$ sudo sysrc linux_enable=YES
$ sudo service linux start
$ sudo podman run --rm --os=linux alpine cat /etc/os-release | head -1

- If upgrading from < 4.7.1:
- In Podman-4.7.0 and later, registry authentication creds moved from
/run/containers/0/auth.json to /root/.config/containers/auth.json. Either move
the file to the new location or just re-authenticate to the required registries.
