Podman on a Mac

Daemonless, Docker-compatible containers · Containers

Podman runs OCI containers without a root daemon; the podman CLI is Docker-compatible (alias docker=podman works for most workflows), with pods and systemd-style units. On macOS it uses a lightweight VM: podman machine init && podman machine start. Add Podman Desktop for a GUI. A drop-in alternative when you'd rather not run Docker Desktop.

Run Podman with FrontierStack

Install or connect Podman; then check its status, ports and certificate from FrontierStack. The same screen links to firewall checks, Malware Audit and backups where they apply.
