honest question: is it any stable?
I ask because last time I read about podman on FreeBSD it was at like alpha/pre-beta stage of development.
- notpublic 2y agoI have been using it for more than a year now in both production and at home. So far so good. Even GPU works out of the box in rootless mode without requiring any special privileges. edit: Redhat in production and Debian at home
- homebrewer 2y agoI think the question was about using podman on FreeBSD, which is the first time I'm hearing about it: https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-podman-on-freebsd-14-0 https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-podman-on-freebsd-14-0 Looks like it isn't using virtualization (unlike the crutches forced on users of the two major commercial OSes), which is great.
- redundantly 2y agoIt can't run Linux based images, you have to find images compatible with FreeBSD or build your own.
- cyberpunk 2y agoI thought FreeBSD has a functional Linux emulation layer?
- znpy 2y agoYeah podman on linux is so old it's not even a news anymore. My question was about podman on FreeBSD.
- rollcat 2y agoThe Docker client (cli) is easy to port - it's mostly just an elaborate frontend to the socket/API. Every other OS just runs Linux in a VM. Focusing on integrating the VM with the usual development workflow is the lowest hanging fruit, provides the best ROI, and is relatively future-proof. Unless you mean running containers in production - I think OCI is a much better target in that case.
- arccy 2y agooci is just the image spec. there's cri which describe a runtime api, but you still need an implementation for it, like containerd, cri-o, etc.
