Podman 5.8: Quadlet Multi-File Install, Automatic SQLite Migration, and the Road to 6.0

https://programming.dev/post/45672024

Podman 5.8 :podman: just dropped and it's quietly setting the stage for 6.0.

The highlights:
- Quadlet multi-file install (bundle your whole stack in one file, finally)
- Automatic BoltDB -> SQLite migration
- AppArmor support in Quadlet unit files
- podman exec --no-session for faster exec calls

If you're running Quadlet-based deployments, this one's worth your attention.

Podman v5.8.0 has just been released! It's on its way to Fedora and other distros shortly. Features include changes to Quadlet, changes to the artifact and update commands, and more! Check out the release notes! https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v5.8.0 #podman #OpenSource

En el trabajo nos picamos un chart custom para #helm que nos permite desplegar prácticamente casi cualquier servicio en #kubernetes de forma genérica.

He itentado replicar lo mismo en mi repo privado de #selfhosting a la hora de desplegar los servicios que tengo con #podman usando quadlets. Para ello he desarrollado un rol de Ansible que intenta imitar lo que hicimos con Helm para Kubernetes y creo que la cosa se me ha ido de madre.

Al final, un chart de Helm no es más que una serie de gotemplates que admiten cualquier cosa siempre que el recurso que vayas a desplegar en Kubernetes quede correctamente formado cuando se hace render de la template. Es fácil omitir atributos o incluso bloques enteros de código opcional en los manifests de Kubernetes resultantes porque gotemplate permite pasar valores de formas extremadamente arbitrarias.

Pero los módulos de Ansible no funcionan así. Normalmente requieren que les pases unos atributos muy concretos. Dejar los atributos opcionales con sus valores por defecto, pero a la vez dar la posibilidad de cambiarlos a voluntad hace que el rol de Ansible quede bastante inflado.

Puede que al final lo que acabe haciendo sea dejar los ficheros de quadlet en un repo con instrucciones muy detalladas sobre cómo configurar los servicios con ellos, pero perdería una parte muy grande de la automatización que he conseguido con Ansible.

Je découvre #Podman que je préfère de loin à #Docker . Hélas, je n'ai rien d'autre que du YT.

Well I've do this one and for me it's a Graal. I can run #Arch in #Debian with #Podman. Great discovering. Thx

Here is update 2 of 3 - https://robmcbryde.com/moving-from-casaos-to-straight-docker-compose

#homelab #docker #docker_compose #podman #linux

I've been making changes to my homelab set up lately prompted by the loss of support for #CasaOS, and the process has had many twists and turns.

Here is update 1 of 3 - https://robmcbryde.com/replacing-casaos-with-fedora-server-and-podman

#homelab #docker #docker_compose #podman #linux

If you were looking for Podman v5.8 RC1, look no further! It's just dropped on GitHub and should be making its way to Fedora and other distros soon! Look for the v5.8.0 final later this month! https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v5.8.0-rc1 #podman #OpenSource

Why run containers when we have microVMs? For example: " New MICROVM kernel for x86, supporting both i386 and amd64, NetBSD 11.0 introduces a dedicated MICROVM kernel designed for extremely fast virtual machines boot, leveraging PVH boot, VirtIO MMIO, and multiple kernel optimizations, it can boot in about 10 ms on 2020-era x86 CPUs." https://netbsd.org/releases/formal-11/NetBSD-11.0.html

🦭 RF Swift now supports #Podman! Run your RF security lab rootless/rootful & daemonless. Auto-detects Docker or Podman at runtime. v1.0.0 "Skywave" 📡🔓

I still have no idea how to get #WireGuard on (rootless) #Podman working - I mean I did get it to work, but #SSH does not work from outside of the network. Web services are accessible tho with the #VPN connection, just not SSH itself.

Just published a new Fedora 42-based container image with everything you need to build and test Neo-Geo homebrew using ngdevkit.

After creating my new #blog using @gohugoio I looked for a way to automate the deployment of the site to my @Podman_io server.

I created a #git action on my @forgejo server and documented it here: https://mbaehler.ch/posts/hugo-gitaction/

#podman #forgejo

I wrote a pretty simple #11ty static website you could self-host (using #Docker/#Podman) as a neat, little profile for your pet #cat or #dog!

Some of its current features:

- Dark/light mode support
- Showcase basic information about your pet, their routine, habits, personality, etc.
- Showcase health records including vaccinations, conditions, allergies, medications, and more
- Add ways to contact you or another emergency contact person
- All data used to make up your site are easily configurable via user-supplied JSON files and optional photos
- Automatic image optimisation in production (WebP + JPEG at responsive sizes) with metadata stripping

I basically wrote this project just so I could self-host a site completely gushing over my cat, Mocha, and laser etched a QR code pointing to the site on the back of his nametag. I'm pretty happy with the outcome so it'll be pretty cool if this could serve anyone who's had the idea to do the same :))

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m giving a talk at the Chemnitzer Linux Days 2026! 🎉

📅 March 28, 2026 - 11:00 AM
Talk: “Rootless by Design: Secure Containers with Podman & Quadlets” 🐳🔒

We’ll explore how to run self-hosted services securely, maintainably, and without unnecessary complexity — all without Kubernetes.

👉 More details & program: https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2026/en/

Looking forward to seeing you there! 😊
