Is this a valid approach for running Podman in MacOS ? https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/02/12/podman-for-macos-sort-of/
It should be, the intention is to provide a "Podman Toolbox"... Not everyone likes VirtualBox, but QEMU support is also included. It is possible to make it accelerated on the Mac, similar to KVM: https://github.com/boot2podman/machine/issues/5#issuecomment-548442359 Both VirtualBox and QEMU should work on all the three platforms. There is still some work to do, with the other 3 "machine" drivers. And work is under way, to upgrade Tiny Core and to upgrade Fedora: * Tiny Core Linux 11.0 * Fedora 31
It seems similar to Docker Machine, and it works well for me.
Any thoughts?
Glad you like it! It's not really a native "Podman for Mac", but should be a start... Like the article says, you can also run the full CRC on the Mac: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2019/09/05/red-hat-openshift-4-on-your-la... That will give you a more integrated product (i.e. no VirtualBox) It also requires a _lot_ more resources from your laptop, though. Recently we are also added Podman support to Minikube, for v1.8.0. This means that we have "podman-machine" and "minikube podman-env", which should be comparable to "docker-machine" and "docker-env" ? You will get some basic Kubernetes support, also with Boot2Podman. /Anders PS. You can follow developer blog at https://boot2podman.github.io/ There will be some kind of hackathon, before foss-north conference. PPS. There were more stuff in Docker for Mac and in Docker Desktop: * https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-for-mac-windows-beta/ * https://www.docker.com/blog/get-to-know-docker-desktop/ I was just doing a Boot2Podman ISO, and then ported machine to it...
