podman
Tool for managing OCI containers and pods
# install podman
brew install podman
# create the virtual machine for podman
podman machine init
# start the virtual machine and set up the connection to podman
podman machine start
# stop the virtual machine
podman machine stop
# connect the vm podman-machine-default
podman machine ssh
# remove the virtual machine
podman machine rm
To create and start the virtual machine that is needed for podman:
podman machine init --cpus 2 --memory 2048 --disk-size 20
podman machine start
podman system connection default podman-machine-default-root
podman info
Useful podman commands:
# searches a registry or a list of registries for a matching image
podman search busybox
# Run a process in a new container
podman run -it docker.io/library/busybox
# Builds an image using instructions from one or more Containerfiles or Dockerfiles and a specified build context directory
podman build -t nginx https://git.io/Jf8ol
# Run a process in a new container
podman run -d -p 8080:80 nginx
# log in to quay
podman login quay.io
# tag the image
podman tag localhost/nginx quay.io/USERNAME/nginx
# push the image
podman push quay.io/USERNAME/nginx
# display the low-level information on containers and images
podman inspect quay.io/USERNAME/nginx
# list the running containers
podman ps
podman-desktop
Browse, manage, inspect containers and images
brew install podman-desktop
kubernetes yaml
It is recommended to use Kubernetes YAML instead of Compose.
You provide the information to kubectl in a deployment.yaml file. kubectl converts the information to JSON when making the API request. Below is an example .yaml file to for describing a Kubernetes object.
To create a Deployment using a .yaml file:
kubectl apply -f [path-or-url-of-the-deployment file]
kubectl
Kubernetes command-line interface
# install kubectl
brew install kubectl
# or
brew install kubernetes-cli
# Test to ensure the version you installed is up-to-date
kubectl version --client
# Check that kubectl is properly configured by getting the cluster state
kubectl cluster-info
If you see a message similar to the following, kubectl is not configured correctly or is not able to connect to a Kubernetes cluster.
The connection to the server <server-name:port> was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
For example, if you are intending to run a Kubernetes cluster on your laptop (locally), you will need a tool like Minikube to be installed first and then re-run the commands stated above.
If kubectl cluster-info returns the url response but you can’t access your cluster, to check whether it is configured properly, use:
kubectl cluster-info dump
minikube
minikube is local Kubernetes, focusing on making it easy to learn and develop for Kubernetes.
# install minikube
brew install minikube
# start your cluster
minikube start
# start minikube with the qemu driver
minikube start --driver=qemu
# start minikube with the podman driver only
minikube start --driver=podman
# make podman the default driver
minikube config set driver podman
By default, minikube executes Podman with sudo. To use Podman without sudo (i.e., Rootless Podman), set the rootless property to true:
minikube config set rootless true
For Rootless Podman, it is recommended to set --container-runtime to containerd:
minikube start --driver=podman --container-runtime=containerd
