Podman is a container runtime tool that allows users to manage and run containers using open-source tools. It is a lightweight and secure alternative to Docker that does not require a daemon to run containers. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Podman on MXLinux Latest.
Before installing Podman, it is recommended to update your system to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Podman is not available in the official MXLinux repository. To install Podman, we need to add the Podman repository to the system. Run the following command to add the repository key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8E9F4B9B
Once you have added the key, run the following command to add the Podman repository to your system:
echo "deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/xUbuntu_21.04/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.list
After executing the above command, run the command "sudo apt update" to update the system repository.
Now that the Podman repository has been added to your system, run the following command to install Podman:
sudo apt install podman
The installation process will take some time, and you will be prompted to confirm the installation. Type 'y' and then press enter to confirm the installation.
Once the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
podman version
If the installation was successful, you will see the version of Podman installed on your system.
You have successfully installed Podman on MXLinux Latest by adding a repository and installing the package using the terminal. You can now use Podman to manage and run containers on your system.
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!
