Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

v4.8.0

6 months ago

Features

  • Podman machine now supports HyperV as a provider on Windows. This option can be set via the CONTAINERS_MACHINE_PROVIDER environment variable, or via containers.conf. HyperV requires Powershell to be run as Admin. Note that running WSL and HyperV machines at the same time is not supported.
  • The podman build command now supports Containerfiles with heredoc syntax.
  • The podman login and podman logout commands now support a new option, --compat-auth-file, which allows for editing Docker-compatible config files (#18617).
  • The podman machine init and podman machine set commands now support a new option, --usb, which sets allows USB passthrough for the QEMU provider (#16707).
  • The --ulimit option now supports setting -1 to indicate the maximum limit allowed for the current process (#19319).
  • The podman play kube command now supports the BUILDAH_ISOLATION environment variable to change build isolation when the --build option is set (#20024).
  • The podman volume create command now supports --opt o=size=XYZ on tmpfs file systems (#20449).
  • The podman info command for remote calls now reports client information even if the remote connection is unreachable
  • Added a new field, privileged, to containers.conf, which sets the defaults for the --privileged flag when creating, running or exec'ing into a container.
  • The podman kube play command now supports setting DefaultMode for volumes (#19313).
  • The --opt option to the podman network create command now accepts a new driver specific option, vrf, which assigns a VRF to the bridge interface.
  • A new option --rdt-class=COS has been added to the podman create and podman run commands that enables assigning a container to a Class Of Service (COS). The COS has to be pre-configured based on a pseudo-filesystem created by the resctrl kernel driver that enables interacting with the Intel RDT CAT feature.
  • The podman kube play command now supports a new option, --publish-all, which exposes all containerPorts on the host.
  • The --filter option now supports label!=, which filters for containers without the specified label.

Upcoming Deprecations

  • We are beginning development on Podman 5.0, which will include a number of breaking changes and deprecations. We are still finalizing what will be done, but a preliminary list is below. Please note that none of these changes are present in Podman 4.8; this is a preview of upcoming changes.
  • Podman 5.0 will deprecate the BoltDB database backend. Exact details on the transition to SQLite are still being decided - expect more news here soon.
  • The containers.conf configuration file will be broken up into multiple separate files, ensuring that it will never be rewritten by Podman.
  • Support for the CNI network backend and Cgroups V1 are being deprecated and gated by build tags. They will not be enabled in Podman builds by default.
  • A variety of small breaking changes to the REST API are planned, both to improve Docker compatibility and to better support containers.conf settings when creating and managing containers.

Changes

  • Podman now defaults to sqlite as its database backend. For backwards compatibility, if a boltdb database already exists on the system, Podman will continue using it.
  • RHEL Subscriptions from the host now flow through to quay.io/podman/* images.
  • The --help option to the podman push command now shows the compression algorithm used.
  • The remote Podman client’s commit command now shows progress messages (#19947).
  • The podman kube play command now sets the pod hostname to the node/machine name when hostNetwork=true in k8s yaml (#19321).
  • The --tty,-t option to the podman exec command now defines the TERM environment variable even if the container is not running with a terminal (#20334).
  • Podman now also uses the helper_binaries_dir option in containers.conf to lookup the init binary (catatonit).
  • Podman healthcheck events are now logged as notices.
  • Podman machines no longer automatically update, preventing accidental service interruptions (#20122).
  • The amount of CPUs a podman machine uses now defaults to available cores/2 (#17066).
  • Podman machine now prohibits using provider names as machine names. applehv, qemu, wsl, and hyperv are no longer valid Podman machine names

Quadlet

  • Quadlet now supports the UIDMap, GIDMap, SubUIDMap, and SubGIDMap options in .container files.
  • Fixed a bug where symlinks were not resolved in search paths (#20504).
  • Quadlet now supports the ReadOnlyTmpfs option.
  • The VolatileTmpfs option is now deprecated.
  • Quadlet now supports systemd specifiers in User and Group keys.
  • Quadlet now supports ImageName for .image files.
  • Quadlet now supports a new option, --force, to the stop command.
  • Quadlet now supports the oneshot service type for .kube files, which allows yaml files without containers.

  • Podman now supports a new option, --imagestore, which allows images to be stored in a different directory than the graphroot.
  • The --ip-range option to the podman network create command now accepts a new syntax, <startIP>-<endIP>, which allows more flexibility when limiting the ip range that Podman assigns.
  • [Tech Preview] A new command, podmansh, has been added, which executes a user shell within a container when the user logs into the system. The container that the users get added to can be defined via a Podman Quadlet file. This feature is currently a Tech Preview which means it's ready for users to try out but changes can be expected in upcoming versions.
  • The podman network create command supports a new --option, bclim, for the macvlan driver.
  • The podman network create command now supports adding static routes using the --route option.

  • Fixed a bug where the --format {{.State}} option to the podman ps command would display the status rather than the state (#18244).
  • Fixed a bug in the podman commit command where setting a --message while also specifying --format=docker options would incorrectly warn that setting a message is incompatible with OCI image formats (#17773).
  • Fixed a bug in the --format option to the podman history command, where the {{.CreatedAt}} and {{.Size}} fields were inconsistent with Docker’s output (#17767), (#17768).
  • Fixed a bug in the remote Podman client where filtering containers would not return all matching containers (#18153).

API

  • Fixed a bug where the Compat and Libpod Top endpoints for Containers did not correctly report errors.
  • Fixed a bug in the Compat Pull and Compat Push endpoints where errors were incorrectly handled.
  • Fixed a bug in the Compat Wait endpoint to correctly handle the "removed" condition (#18889).
  • Fixed a bug in the Compat Stats endpoint for Containers where the online_cpus field was not set correctly (#15754).
  • Fixed a bug in the Compat Build endpoint where the pull field accepted a boolean value instead of a string (#17778).
  • Fixed a bug where the Compat History endpoint for Images did not prefix the image ID with sha256: (#17762).
  • Fixed a bug in the Libpod Export endpoint for Images where exporting to an oci-dir or a docker-dir format would not export to the correct format (#15897).
  • The Compat Create endpoint for Containers now supports the platform parameter (#18951).
  • The Compat Remove endpoint for Images now supports the noprune query parameter, which ensures that dangling parents of the specified image are not removed
