how is this different from the usual podman client ?

Author: It isn’t, if you are a power user, the podman client should provide all you need. It also supports docker too. The difference is that this is a GUI, like Docker Desktop, but unlike it, batteries are not included. I dont dislike DD, but to each their own.

Nice! Unfortunately I got this error upon opening the Mac app: Uncaught Exception: TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'setImage') at NativeTheme. (file:///Applications/Container%20Desktop.app/ Contents/Resources/app.asar/build/main-5.2.3.mjs:22:537771) at NativeTheme.emit (node:events:519:28) Nothing seems to be wrong, but that was surprising. Also, it's not obvious from the site that Container Deskto…

Thanks, just released 5.2.4 to address the flatpak issue you mention above. I am sorry for that, it is extremely hard to support so many formats on linux. I am documenting myself as much as I can to be able to publish to flatpak hub, but there is a lot to get to do it properly.

I understand that packaging cross platform apps is hard. Just note that I was talking about the MacOS package, not Flatpak.

Kubernetes is planned - my devops wants me to add it badly! Author note - Most of you guys here are power users, for whom UI is a visual poem that you need or not. This is not a commercial project, it is not following any business goals. But this does not mean concessions to quality, it does try to offer minimal resource usage everywhere, easy experience, good UI/UX. It explains all it does behind the scenes if you e…

This looks really slick! Quick question for you: the site mentions that other engines are planned. I'm curious what those might be. I would guess something like directly interfacing with containerd or kata, but would love to know more. If I could request one, it would be to directly use systemd, since it now covers all the necessary features to run containers quite nicely.

Incus looks promising, see here https://linuxcontainers.org/incus

As for systemd, podman is amazing https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_...

It was the same issue, solved for mac also.

Unfortunately FYI now the ARM64 app is now rejected by MacOS Sonoma on my M1, saying it's "damaged" and can't be opened. However the x86 version seems to work, presumably under Rosetta.

unfortunately this is because I cant afford to digitally sing mac apps, there is a trick to make it work in the USAGE.md but it is up to you. 200 euros per year for a pro bono project is ridiculous, you can also easily build your own dmg file from the sources as it is an open source project in the end.
