7       pods, containers and images.

SYNOPSIS

11       podman-remote [options] command

DESCRIPTION

15       Podman (Pod Manager) is a fully featured container  engine  that  is  a
16       simple  daemonless  tool.  Podman provides a Docker-CLI comparable com‐
17       mand line that eases the transition from other  container  engines  and
18       allows  the  management  of  pods,  containers and images.  Simply put:
19       alias docker=podman.  Most Podman commands can  be  run  as  a  regular
20       user, without requiring additional privileges.
21
22
23       Podman  uses  Buildah(1)  internally  to  create container images. Both
24       tools share image (not container) storage, hence each can use or manip‐
25       ulate images (but not containers) created by the other.
26
27
28       Podman-remote provides a local client interacting with a Podman backend
29       node through a varlink ssh connection. In this context, a  Podman  node
30       is  a  Linux system with Podman installed on it and the varlink service
31       activated. Credentials for this session can be passed in  using  flags,
32       enviroment variables, or in podman-remote.conf

Exit Status

96       The  exit  code  from  podman gives information about why the container
97       failed to run or why it exited.   When  podman  commands  exit  with  a
98       non-zero code, the exit codes follow the chroot standard, see below:
99
100
101       125 if the error is with podman itself
102
103
104              $ podman run --foo busybox; echo $?
105              Error: unknown flag: --foo
106                125

111
112
113              $ podman run busybox /etc; echo $?
114              Error: container_linux.go:346: starting container process caused "exec: \"/etc\": permission denied": OCI runtime error
115                126
116
117
118
119       127 if executing a contained command and the command cannot be found
120           $ podman run busybox foo; echo $?
