  • cious Teams Editor rating 4.5 / 5 Founded 2018 Headquarters Raleigh, USA What is Podman ?
  • Podman is Red Hat's answer to Docker for teams that want containers without a privileged daemon.
  • It runs OCI containers and pods rootlessly, with a CLI close enough to Docker's that most commands carry over by aliasing the binary.
  • The daemonless, rootless architecture is the security argument, and it lands well with security-conscious teams and Linux-first developers who'd rather not run a root-owned daemon.
  • Being open source and free helps.
