podman

Definition

Podman is an open-source container management tool that allows users to develop, manage, and run containers without requiring a daemon. It is compatible with Docker CLI commands, enabling users to transition from Docker to Podman seamlessly. Podman supports rootless containers, enhancing security by allowing containers to run without root privileges.

Secure Settings Example

# Run a container in rootless mode with Podman
podman run --rm --userns=keep-id --name secure-container myimage:latest

Insecure Settings Example

# Running a container with root privileges
podman run --rm --privileged --name insecure-container myimage:latest
