- rsyring 1y agoWow! I can't believe I missed that. Thanks.

- gucci-on-fleek 1y agoWell all the downstream distros have their own installers (apt, dnf, pacman, etc.). If you're compiling from source, then "make install" [0] should work as expected, and if you're downloading the pre-built binaries from GitHub [1], you just need to copy a single statically-linked binary into "/usr/local/bin".

- throwaway127482 1y agoAren't the statically linked binaries just the remote client? i.e. they can't run containers on their own, right? In the past I think I wound up using https://github.com/mgoltzsche/podman-static https://github.com/mgoltzsche/podman-static because I could not get those podman static binaries to work
