I started to learn about podman, so just created this blog to track my learning and share it with the dev community. I might make some mistakes in the blog post, but I will update the blog regularly
Introduction
Podman is a container engine that provides a similar experience to Docker but offers several advantages, including:
- Podman can run without root privileges, enhancing security.
- Podman doesn't require a central daemon, making it more lightweight and easier to manage.
- Built-in support for pods: Podman natively supports pods, a grouping mechanism for containers.
Example dockerfile to create node server in a container
FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "start"]
