Podman is an open-source container runtime that allows users to manage and run containers without the need for a daemon or root privileges. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Podman on Void Linux.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have the following:
The first step is to update and upgrade your system to ensure that you have the latest packages available. Open a terminal and execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suy
Void Linux by default does not have the Podman package in its official repositories. Therefore, we need to add the Podman repository to our system by executing the following command:
sudo sh -c "echo 'repository=https://podman.io/$(malloc -l 6)/voidlinux-countdown' > /etc/xbps.d/podman.conf"
This command will create a file named podman.conf in the /etc/xbps.d/ directory containing the Podman package repository information.
Now that we have added the Podman repository to our system, we can install Podman by executing the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Sy podman
This command will synchronize the package index with the newly added repository and then install the Podman package on your system.
To verify that Podman has been installed successfully, execute the following command:
podman --version
This command will display the version of Podman installed on your system.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Podman on Void Linux. You can now start using Podman to manage your containerized applications.
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!
