Podman Posts of Interest

By Tom Sweeney GitHub​

A number of blog posts have flung by and I have not had a chance to get individual link posts to them, so thought I would add a few here that have popped up recently, links after the break!.

Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo will be included in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Learn More!.​

Podman, Buildah and Skopeo on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Beta is available for testing as of March 31st. This is the first LTS release with Podman, Buildah and Skopeo in the default repos, thanks to the amazing work of Reinhard Tartler and team.

The package versions available currently are: Podman 3.4, Buildah 1.23 and Skopeo 1.4.

There won't be any further updates to the Kubic repos as far as Podman, Buildah and Skopeo are concerned, so users are recommended to use the default repos on 22.04 LTS.

If you're currently using packages from the Kubic repos, it’s highly recommended to uninstall the Kubic packages prior to upgrading to 22.04 LTS.

Netavark and Aardvark-dns v1.0.2 release

The Podman development team has released new versions of both Netavark and Aardvark-dns. The releases mostly consist of updated dependency libraries and bugfixes. Additionally, netavark is now capable of having a statically addressed macvlan without a gateway address. New packages for Fedora 36 and the Podman4 COPR are being built and should be available shortly.

Podman v4.0.2 is now on Homebrew! Learn More!.​

Podman v4.0.2 is available in Homebrew

Homebrew, also known as brew, now has the Podman v4.0.2 available. Updating should be trivial but please make sure that Qemu is also upgraded alongside Podman. One cool feature that the community helped us deliver is the ability to mount volumes from MacOS into the virtual machine. We decided to backport some code to make it available to users more quickly. As such, it is possible if not likely that there will be more changes around volume mounts in subsequent Podman releases (i.e. default mounts, technology used to make the mount).

Learn why Podman 4 is not in Fedora 35 in this blog post from Brent Baude.​

Podman 4 is not in Fedora 35

Podman 4 will not officially ship in Fedora 35 because it has breaking changes from Podman 3. Fedora has well-founded policies that forbid updating a package in a Fedora release, like 35, that has breaking changes. This is true for most Linux distributions that are dependent on release versions.
