Hi Thierry,
Putting the list back in the loop. I think you accidentally replied to me
only.

Hi Valentin
thanks for your feedback, I’m answering inline
> Podman is not meant to run K8s. Podman targets single-node machines and

Runtime Interface (CRI) that K8s uses to communicate with the container
runtime. CRI-O is dedicated to exactly that use-case.
yeah, I got that
so let me rephrase; the fact that I mentioned minikube - that is just a
first step for me a beginner here - seems to have been misleading
my ultimate goal is to deploy a k8s cluster on a handful of bare-metal
fedora boxes, running podman instead of docker
but I was surprised to see **almost no mention** of podman in the k8s
documentation, where docker appears a zillion of times along with, in
shorter supply, rkt
As mentioned before, Podman is not meant to be running underneath
Kubernetes. That is CRI-O's job.
Docker and rkt are mentioned for historical reasons. Both have been used
underneath Kubernetes for a longer period of time. rkt has been
discontinued a long time ago and also Docker is not supported underneath
Kubernetes anymore.
I understand that the podman team is not in charge of that
documentation,
I’m just saying this suggests podman cannot be used in this way, which I’m
pretty certain it is, right ?
Podman cannot be used underneath Kubernetes.

great. For
questions, the mailing list works well, GitHub issues or the #podman
channel on Freenode IRC (and Libera Chat).
thanks for pointing out irc, I’ll try to join you guys there
Great, see you over there :)
Kind regards,
Valentin
