In case you missed Kedar Kulkarni's excellent talk at DevConf.US 2020, "Docker, Podman, Buildah, Skopeo, and what else?", check out the video on YouTube. There were also a number of other interesting talks at DevConf.US 2020 that you might be interested in, you'll be able to find links to the talks at the DevConf.US site above.
Today, we're releasing updates to fix CVE-2020-14370, a security issue in Podman. This is a medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability that affects containers created using Podman’s Varlink API or the Docker-compatible version of its REST API. If two or more containers are created using these APIs, and the first container had environment variables added to it when it was created, all subsequent containers created using the Varlink or Docker-compatible REST APIs will also have these environment variables added. This effect does not persist after restarting the Podman API service.
Podman v2.0.5 and higher contain a fix for the CVE. If you use either of these APIs, please update to Podman v2.0.5 or later. We will also be patching the long-term support v1.6.4 release used in RHEL and CentOS.
I've run across a number of posts over the past few weeks concerning Podman and have been busy getting other work done. So now I have a few moments and thought I'd add some links to the posts. Enjoy!
In a recent blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site, Podman remote clients for macOS and Windows, Brent Baude and Ashley Cui walk you through setting up a remote client on either Windows or macOS to let you manage your containers and images on your Linux backend. The post covers installation, ssh setup, creating the initial connection and finally how to use the client. Give it a quick look!

In a recent blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site, The podman play kube command now supports deployments, you can now learn all about the recent features added to Podman to interact with Kubernetes objects. The podman generate kube command allows you to export your existing containers into Kubernetes Pod YAML. This YAML can then be imported into OpenShift or a Kubernetes cluster. The podman play kube does the opposite, it allows you to take a Kubernetes YAML and run it in Podman. Learn all of the details and more in the blog post!

Ashley Cui recently joined our team at Red Hat and just wrote her first ever blog post that is now on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site Tick-tock. Does your container know what time it is?. In this timely post, Ashley walks you through setting the timezone within a container using the --tz option. Just prior to this posting, I had answered a very similar question for someone. This is a really good and quick blog, and I'm sure the first of many for Ashley.
