Chapter 21: Containers with Podman

Run containers as an ordinary user, publish ports and keep data safely, build your own image, and run a container as a systemd service that survives a reboot.

What you will learn

• Pull images by full name and run, inspect, stop and remove containers.
• Publish ports, pass settings, and keep data with bind mounts, volumes and the right SELinux option.
• Build and tag an image from a Containerfile.
• Run a container as a Quadlet user service with restarts, lingering and a firewall port.
