Podman is an open-source tool that enables you to manage containers and container images. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Podman onto the latest version of Alpine Linux.
Before we begin, make sure your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
apk update && apk upgrade
To install Podman on Alpine Linux Latest, we'll need to add a repository that provides the required packages. Run the following command to add the repository:
echo "@edgecommunity https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community" >> /etc/apk/repositories
After adding the repository, you can install Podman and its dependencies by running the following command:
apk add podman@edgecommunity
The installation process may take a few minutes to complete, depending on your internet speed and system configuration.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
podman version
This command should output Podman's version information, proving that the installation was successful.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Podman on Alpine Linux Latest. You're now ready to create and manage containers with Podman.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
