Podman is a lightweight, open-source container engine that allows you to manage containers on your Linux system without needing a daemon. This tutorial will cover how to install Podman on Elementary OS Latest.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install dependencies that Podman requires to work correctly. Open the terminal and enter the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install uidmap slirp4netns
By default, Podman is not available in the official repository of Elementary OS. Therefore, we need to add the Podman repository to our system.
Enter the following command to add the Podman key to your system:
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containers/podman/main/contrib/podman.repo | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/podman.list
Run the following commands to update your system and install Podman from the added repository.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install podman
You can verify the installation of Podman by typing the following command in the terminal:
podman version
This command will display the version of Podman installed on your system with other details like Go Version, OS/Arch and Build Date.
By following these simple steps, you have successfully installed Podman on Elementary OS Latest. Now, you can manage and maintain containers on your system without any hassle.
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!
