  • when I moved my docker setup to a fedora coreos podman setup, the volume mounts required an additional option for a label to play nice with selinux. ‘z’ if the mount is shared between multiple containers and ‘Z’ if its just for one container.

    the podman docs definitely go into more details.

    ive also seen people talk on the discord about scripts that can take your yaml files and write container files to be used with podman-systemd that seemed pretty nice. i think there is also a podman-compose option out there, but I’m not super familiar with that.














  • Haha, you’re not wrong about it seeming a little extra to get installed.

    I used coreos live ISO and coreos-installer with the ignition file produced from a ucore-autorebase.butane file. I lightly edited the example butane file with the ssh keys I wanted to use, password hash, and “ucore-minimal:stable-nvidia” since I’ve got an old 1060 gpu in the server for jellyfin.


  • proxmox is awesome, but i dont think its a right fit for what you’re looking to do. if you just want to run a few podman containers, I’d probably go with a server os that is geared towards containers.

    check out fedora’s coreOS or maybe ucore from the universal blue project. it seems like they’re both good candidates for podman. i think opensuse has a similar offering in microOS.

    i recently migrated containers from an older Ubuntu server running docker to a ucore server with mainly rootless podman containers. i think I prefer ucore as updates are automated, reboots are scheduled for off hours, and the podman containers are kept updated by systemd service. and cockpit comes on the os image container, so i can poke stuff on a webpage too I guess.
