Release Notes

4.3.0

Features

A new command, podman generate spec, has been added, which creates a JSON struct based on a given container that can be used with the Podman REST API to create containers.

Systemd-managed pods created by the podman kube play command now integrate with sd-notify, using the io.containers.sdnotify annotation (or io.containers.sdnotify/$name for specific containers).
Systemd-managed pods created by podman kube play can now be auto-updated, using the io.containers.auto-update annotation (or io.containers.auto-update/$name for specific containers).
The podman kube play command can now read YAML from URLs, e.g. podman kube play https://example.com/demo.yml (#14955).

The podman volume create command's -o timeout= option can now set a timeout of 0, indicating volume plugin operations will never time out.
Added support for a new volume driver, image, which allows volumes to be created that are backed by images.
The podman run and podman create commands support a new option, --env-merge, allowing environment variables to be specified relative to other environment variables in the image (e.g. podman run --env-merge "PATH=$PATH:/my/app" ...) (#15288).
The podman run and podman create commands support a new option, --on-failure, to allow action to be taken when a container fails health checks, with the following supported actions: none (take no action, the default), kill (kill the container), restart (restart the container), and stop (stop the container).
The --keep-id option to podman create and podman run now supports new options, uid and gid, to set the UID and GID of the user in the container that will be mapped to the user running Podman (e.g. --userns=keep-id:uid=11 will made the user running Podman to UID 11 in the container) (#15294).
The podman generate systemd command now supports a new option, --env/-e, to set environment variables in the generated unit file (#15523).

Changes

Duplicate volume mounts are now allowed with the -v option to podman run, podman create, and podman pod create, so long as source, destination, and options all match (#4217).
The podman generate kube and podman play kube commands have been renamed to podman kube generate and podman kube play to group Kubernetes-related commands. Aliases have been added to ensure the old command names still function.
A number of Podman commands (podman init, podman container checkpoint, podman container restore, podman container cleanup) now print the user-inputted name of the container, instead of its full ID, on success.
When an unsupported option (e.g. resource limit) is specified for a rootless container on a cgroups v1 system, a warning message is now printed that the limit will not be honored.
The installer for the Windows Podman client has been improved.
The --cpu-rt-period and --cpu-rt-runtime options to podman run and podman create now print a warning and are ignored on cgroups v2 systems (cgroups v2 having dropped support for these controllers) (#15666).
Privileged containers running systemd will no longer mount /dev/tty* devices other than /dev/tty itself into the container (#15878).
Events for containers that are part of a pod now include the ID of the pod in the event.
SSH functionality for podman machine commands has seen a thorough rework, addressing many issues about authentication.
The --network option to podman kube play now allows passing host to set the pod to use host networking, even if the YAML does not request this.
The podman inspect command on containers now includes the digest of the image used to create the container.
Pods created by podman play kube are now, by default, placed into a network named podman-kube. If the podman-kube network does not exist, it will be created. This ensures pods can connect to each other by their names, as the network has DNS enabled.

4.2.0

Features

Podman now supports the Gitlab Runner (using the Docker executor), allowing its use in Gitlab CI/CD pipelines.
A new command has been added, podman pod clone, to create a copy of an existing pod. It supports several options, including --start to start the new pod, --destroy to remove the original pod, and --name to change the name of the new pod (#12843).
A new command has been added, podman volume reload, to sync changes in state between Podman's database and any configured volume plugins (#14207).
A new command has been added, podman machine info, which displays information about the host and the versions of various machine components.
Pods created by podman play kube can now be managed by systemd unit files. This can be done via a new systemd service, podman-kube@.service - e.g. systemctl --user start podman-play-kube@$(systemd-escape my.yaml).service will run the Kubernetes pod or deployment contained in my.yaml under systemd.
The podman play kube command now honors the RunAsUser, RunAsGroup, and SupplementalGroups setting from the Kubernetes pod's security context.
The podman play kube command now supports volumes with the BlockDevice and CharDevice types (#13951).

The podman play kube command now supports setting the type of created init containers via the io.podman.annotations.init.container.type annotation.
The podman pod create command now supports an exit policy (configurable via the --exit-policy option), which determines what will happen to the pod's infra container when the entire pod stops.

The latter is used for pods created via podman play kube (#13464).
The podman pod create command now allows the pod's name to be specified as an argument, instead of using the --name option - for example, podman pod create mypod instead of the prior podman pod create --name mypod. Please note that the --name option is not deprecated and will continue to work.
The podman pod create command's --share option now supports adding namespaces to the set by prefacing them with + (as opposed to specifying all namespaces that should be shared) (#13422).
The podman pod create command has a new option, --shm-size, to specify the size of the /dev/shm mount that will be shared if the pod shares its UTS namespace (#14609).

These will set a limit for all containers in the pod, while individual containers within the pod are allowed to set further limits. Look forward to more options for resource limits in our next release!
The podman create and podman run commands now include the -c short option for the --cpu-shares option.
The podman create and podman run commands can now create containers from a manifest list (and not an image) as long as the --platform option is specified (#14773).

The podman machine init command on Windows now fetches an image with packages pre-installed (#14698).
Unused, cached Podman machine VM images are now cleaned up automatically. Note that because Podman now caches in a different directory, this will not clean up old images pulled before this change (#14697).
The default for the --image-volume option to podman run and podman create can now have its default set through the image_volume_mode setting in containers.conf (#14230).
Overlay volumes now support two new options, workdir and upperdir, to allow multiple overlay volumes from different containers to reuse the same workdir or upperdir (#14427).
The podman volume create command now supports two new options, copy and nocopy, to control whether contents from the overmounted folder in a container will be copied into the newly-created named volume (copy-up).
Volumes created using a volume plugin can now specify a timeout for all operations that contact the volume plugin (replacing the standard 5 second timeout) via the --opt o=timeout= option to podman volume create (BZ 2080458).

The --condition option to podman wait can now be specified multiple times to wait on any one of multiple conditions.
The podman events command now includes the -f short option for the --filter option.
The podman pull command now includes the -a short option for the --all-tags option.
The podman stop command now includes a new flag, --filter, to filter which containers will be stopped (e.g. podman stop --all --filter label=COM.MY.APP).
The Podman global option --url now has two aliases: -H and --host.
The podman network create command now supports a new option with the default bridge driver, --opt isolate=, which isolates the network by blocking any traffic from it to any other network with the isolate option enabled. This option is enabled by default for networks created using the Docker-compatible API.
Added the ability to create sigstore signatures in podman push and podman manifest push.
Added an option to read image signing passphrase from a file.

Changes

Paused containers can now be killed with the podman kill command.
The podman system prune command now removes unused networks.
The --userns=keep-id and --userns=nomap options to the podman run and podman create commands are no longer allowed (instead of simply being ignored) with root Podman.

The libpod/common package has been removed as it's not used anywhere.
The --userns option to podman create and podman run is no longer accepted when an explicit UID or GID mapping is specified (#15233).

Fixed a bug where podman machine rm --force would remove files related to the VM before stopping it, causing issues if removal was interrupted.
Fixed a bug where podman logs would omit the last line of a container's logs if the log did not end in a newline (#14458).
Fixed a bug where network cleanup was nonfunctional for containers which used a custom user namespace and were initialized via API (#14465).
Fixed a bug where some options (including volumes) for containers that joined pods were overwritten by the infra container (#14454).

Fixed a bug where signals sent to a Podman attach session with --sig-proxy enabled at the exact moment the container that was attached to exited could cause error messages to be printed.
Fixed a bug where running the podman machine start command more than once (simultaneously) on the same machine would cause errors.
Fixed a bug where the podman stats command could not be run on containers that were not running (it now reports all-0s statistics for Docker compatibility) (#14498).

API

Fixed a bug where images pulled from a private registry could not be accessed via shortname using the Compat API endpoints (#14291).
Fixed a bug where the Compat Delete API for Images would return an incorrect status code (500) when attempting to delete images that are in use (#14208).
Fixed a bug where the Compat Build API for Images would include the build's STDERR output even if the quiet parameter was true.
Fixed a bug where the Libpod Play Kube API would overwrite any log driver specified by query parameter with the system default.

Misc

The podman auto-update command now creates an event when it is run.
Error messages printed when Podman's temporary files directory is not writable have been improved.
Units for memory limits accepted by Podman commands were incorrectly stated by documentation as megabytes, instead of mebibytes; this has now been corrected (#14187).

4.1.0

Features

Podman now supports Docker Compose v2.2 and higher (#11822). Please note that it may be necessary to disable the use of Buildkit by setting the environment variable DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0.
A new container command has been added, podman container clone. This command makes a copy of an existing container, with the ability to change some settings (e.g. resource limits) while doing so.
A new machine command has been added, podman machine inspect. This command provides details on the configuration of machine VMs.
The podman machine set command can now change the CPUs, memory, and disk space available to machines after they were initially created, using the new --cpus, --disk-size, and --memory options (#13633).
Podman now supports sending JSON events related to machines to a Unix socket named machine_events.*\.sock in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/podman or to a socket whose path is set in the PODMAN_MACHINE_EVENTS_SOCK environment variable.
Two new volume commands have been added, podman volume mount and podman volume unmount. These allow for Podman-managed named volumes to be mounted and accessed from outside containers (#12768).
VMs created by podman machine now automatically mount the host's $HOME into the VM, to allow mounting volumes from the host into containers.
The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore options now support checkpointing to and restoring from OCI images. This allows checkpoints to be distributed via standard image registries.
The podman play kube command now supports environment variables that are specified using the fieldRef and resourceFieldRef sources.
The podman play kube command will now set default resource limits when the provided YAML does not include them (#13115).
The podman play kube command now supports a new option, --annotation, to add annotations to created containers (#12968).
The podman play kube --build command now supports a new option, --context-dir, which allows the user to specify the context directory to use when building the Containerfile (#12485).
The podman container commit command now supports a new option, --squash, which squashes the generated image into a single layer (#12889).
The podman pod logs command now supports two new options, --names, which identifies which container generated a log message by name, instead of ID (#13261) and --color, which colors messages based on what container generated them (#13266).
The podman rmi command now supports a new option, --ignore, which will ignore errors caused by missing images.
The podman network create command now features a new option, --ipam-driver, to specify details about how IP addresses are assigned to containers in the network (#13521).
The podman machine list command now features a new option, --quiet, to print only the names of configured VMs and no other information.
The --ipc option to the podman create, podman run, and podman pod create commands now supports three new modes: none, private, and shareable. The default IPC mode is now shareable, indicating the the IPC namespace can be shared with other containers (#13265).
The --mount option to the podman create and podman run commands can now set options for created named volumes via the volume-opt parameter (#13387).
The --mount option to the podman create and podman run commands now allows parameters to be passed in CSV format (#13922).
The --userns option to the podman create and podman run commands now supports a new option, nomap, that (only for rootless containers) does not map the UID of the user that started the container into the container, increasing security.
The podman import command now supports three new options, --arch, --os, and --variant, to specify what system the imported image was built for.
The podman inspect command now includes information on the network configuration of containers that joined a pre-configured network namespace with the --net ns: option to podman run, podman create, and podman pod create.
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --chrootdirs, which specifies additional locations where container-specific files managed by Podman (e.g. /etc/hosts, `/etc/resolv.conf, etc) will be mounted inside the container (#12961).
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --passwd-entry, allowing entries to be added to the container's /etc/passwd file.
The podman images --format command now accepts two new format directives: {{.CreatedAt}} and {{.CreatedSince}} (#14012).
The podman volume create command's -o option now accepts a new argument, o=noquota, to disable XFS quotas entirely and avoid potential issues when Podman is run on an XFS filesystem with existing quotas defined (#14049).
The podman info command now includes additional information on the machine Podman is running on, including disk utilization on the drive Podman is storing containers and images on, and CPU utilization (#13876).

Changes

The --net=container: option to podman run, podman create, and podman pod create now conflicts with the --add-host option.
As part of a deprecation of the SHA1 hash algorithm within Podman, the algorithm used to generate the filename of the rootless network namespace has been changed. As a result, rootless containers started before updating to Podman 4.1.0 will need to be restarted if they are joined to a network (and not just using slirp4netns) to ensure they can connect to containers started the upgrade.
Podman's handling of the /etc/hosts file has been rewritten to improve its consistency and handling of edge cases (#12003 and #13224). As part of this, two new options are available in containers.conf: base_hosts_file (to specify a nonstandard location to source the base contents of the container's /etc/hosts) and host_containers_internal_ip (to specify a specific IP address for containers' host.containers.internal entry to point to).
The output of the podman image trust show command now includes information on the transport mechanisms allowed.
Podman now exits cleanly (with exit code 0) after receiving SIGTERM.
Containers running in systemd mode now set the container_uuid environment variable (#13187).
Renaming a container now generates an event readable through podman events.
The --privileged and --cap-add flags are no longer mutually exclusive (#13449).
Fixed a bug where the --mount option to podman create and podman run could not create anonymous volumes (#13756).
Fixed a bug where Podman containers where the user did not explicitly set an OOM score adjustment would implicitly set a value of 0, instead of not setting one at all (#13731).
The podman machine set command can no longer be used while the VM being updated is running (#13783).
Systemd service files created by podman generate systemd are now prettyprinted for increased readability.
The file event log driver now automatically rotates the log file, preventing it from growing beyond a set size.
The --no-trunc flag to podman search now defaults to false, to ensure output is not overly verbose.

Fixed a bug where the podman logs --tail=1 command would fail when the log driver was journald and the container was restarted (#13098).
Fixed a bug where containers created from images with a healthcheck that did not specify an interval would never run their healthchecks (#13912).
Fixed a bug where the podman network connect and podman network disconnect commands could leave invalid entries in /etc/hosts (#13533).
Fixed a bug where the --tls-verify option to the remote Podman client's podman build command was nonfunctional.
Fixed a bug where the podman pod inspect command incorrectly reported whether the pod used the host's network (#14028).
Fixed a bug where Podman would, when run on WSL2, ports specified without an IP address (e.g. -p 8080:8080) would be bound to IPv6 addresses (#12292).
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman info could report an incorrect path to the socket used to access the Podman service (#12023).

API

Fixed a bug where rootless Podman could, on systems that do not use systemd as init, print a warning message about the rootless network namespace (#13703).
Fixed a bug where the default systemd unit file for podman system service did not delegate all cgroup controllers, resulting in podman info queries against the remote API returning incorrect cgroup controllers (#13710).
Fixed a bug where the slirp4netns port forwarder for rootless Podman would only publish the first port of a range (#13643).

API

Fixed a bug where the CONTAINERS_CONF environment variable was not propagated to Conmon, which could result in Podman cleanup processes being run with incorrect configurations.

4.0.0

Security

This release addresses CVE-2022-1227, where running podman top on a container made from a maliciously-crafted image and using a user namespace could allow for code execution in the host context.

Features

Podman has seen an extensive rewrite of its network stack to add support for Netavark, a new tool for configuring container networks, in addition to the existing CNI stack. Netavark will be default on new installations when it is available.
The podman network connect command now supports three new options, --ip, --ip6, and --mac-address, to specify configuration for the new network that will be attached.
The podman network create command now allows the --subnet, --gateway, and --ip-range options to be specified multiple times, to allow for the creation of dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 networks with user-specified subnets.
The --network option to podman create, podman pod create, podman run, and podman play kube can now, when specifying a network name, also specify advanced network options such as alias, ip, mac, and interface_name, allowing advanced configuration of networks when creating containers connected to more than one network.
The podman play kube command can now specify the --net option multiple times, to connect created containers and pods to multiple networks.
The podman create, podman pod create, and podman run commands now support a new option, --ip6, to specify a static IPv6 address for the created container or pod to use.
Macvlan networks can now configure the mode of the network via the -o mode= option.
When using the CNI network stack, a new network driver, ipvlan, is now available.
The podman info command will now print the network backend in use (Netavark or CNI).
The network backend to use can be now be specified in containers.conf via the network_backend field. Please note that it is not recommended to switch backends while containers exist, and a system reboot is recommended after doing so.
All Podman commands now support a new option, --noout, that suppresses all output to STDOUT.
All commands that can remove containers (podman rm --force, podman pod rm --force, podman volume rm --force, podman network rm --force) now accept a --time option to specify the timeout on stopping the container before resorting to SIGKILL (identical to the --time flag to podman stop).
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --passwd, that uses the /etc/passwd and /etc/groups files from the image in the created container without changes by Podman (#11805).
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --hostuser, that creates one or more users in the container based on users from the host (e.g. with matching username, UID, and GID).
The podman create and podman run commands now support two new options, --unsetenv and --unsetenv-all, to clear default environment variables set by Podman and by the container image (#11836).
The podman rm command now supports a new option, --depend, which recursively removes a given container and all containers that depend on it (#10360).
All commands that support filtering their output based on labels (e.g. podman volume ls, podman ps) now support labels specified using glob matching (e.g. --filter label=some.prefix.com/key/*).
The podman pod create command now supports the --volume option, allowing volumes to be specified that will be mounted automatically to all containers in the pod (#10379).
The podman pod create command now supports the --device option, allowing devices to be specified that will be mounted automatically to all containers in the pod.
The podman pod create command now supports the --volumes-from option, allowing volumes from an existing Podman container to be mounted automatically to all containers in the pod.
The podman pod create command now supports the --security-opt option, allowing security settings (e.g. disabling SELinux or Seccomp) to be configured automatically for all containers in the pod (#12173).
The podman pod create command now supports the --share-parent option, which defaults to true, controlling whether containers in the pod will use a shared cgroup parent.
The podman pod create command now supports the --sysctl option, allowing sysctls to be configured automatically for all containers in the pod.
The podman events command now supports the --no-trunc option, which will allow short container IDs to be displayed instead of the default full IDs. The flag defaults to true, so full IDs remain the default (#8941).
The podman machine init command now supports a new VM type, wsl, available only on Windows; this uses WSL as a backend for podman machine, instead of creating a separate VM and managing it via QEMU (#12503).
The podman machine init command now supports a new option, --now, to start the VM immediately after creating it.
The podman machine init command now supports a new option, --volume, to mount contents from the host into the created virtual machine.
Virtual machines created by podman machine now automatically mount the Podman API socket to the host, so consumers of the Podman or Docker APIs can use them directly from the host machine (#11462).
Virtual machines created by podman machine now automatically mount certificates from the host's keychain into the virtual machine (#11507).
Virtual machines created by podman machine now automatically propagate standard proxy environment variables from the host into the virtual machine, including copying any required certificates from SSL_FILE_CERT into the VM.

Port forwarding from VMs created using podman machine now supports ports specified using custom host IPs (e.g. -p 127.0.0.1:8080:80), the UDP protocol, and containers created using the slirp4netns network mode (#11528 and #11728).
The podman system connection rm command supports a new option, --all, to remove all available connections (#12018).
The podman system service command's default timeout is now configured via containers.conf (using the service_timeout field) instead of hardcoded to 5 seconds.
The --mount type=devpts option to podman create and podman run now supports new options: uid, gid, mode, and max.
The --volume option to podman create and podman run now supports a new option, :idmap, which using an ID mapping filesystem to allow multiple containers with disjoint UID and GID ranges mapped into them access the same volume (#12154).
The U option for volumes, which changes the ownership of the mounted volume to ensure the user running in the container can access it, can now be used with the --mount option to podman create and podman run, as well as the --volume option where it was already available.
The :O option for volumes, which specifies that an overlay filesystem will be mounted over the volume and ensures changes do not persist, is now supported with named volumes as well as bind mounts.
The :O option for volumes now supports two additional options, upperdir and workdir, which allow for specifying custom upper directories and work directories for the created overlay filesystem.
Podman containers created from a user-specified root filesystem (via --rootfs) can now create an overlay filesystem atop the user-specified rootfs which ensures changes will not persist by suffixing the user-specified root filesystem with :O.
The podman save command has a new option, --uncompressed, which saves the layers of the image without compression (#11613).
Podman supports a new log driver for containers, passthrough, which logs all output directly to the STDOUT and STDERR of the podman command; it is intended for use in systemd-managed containers.
The podman build command now supports two new options, --unsetenv and --all-platforms.
The podman image prune command now supports a new option, --external, which allows containers not created by Podman (e.g. temporary containers from Buildah builds) to be pruned (#11472).
Two new aliases for podman image prune have been added for Docker compatibility: podman builder prune and podman buildx prune.
The podman play kube command now supports a new option, --no-hosts, which uses the /etc/hosts file from the image in all generated containers, preventing any modifications to the hosts file from Podman (#9500).
The podman play kube command now supports a new option, --replace, which will replace any existing containers and pods with the same names as the containers and pods that will be created by the command (#11481).
The podman play kube command now supports a new option, --log-opt, which allows the logging configuration of generated containers and pods to be adjusted (#11727).
The podman play kube command now supports Kubernetes YAML that specifies volumes from a configmap.
The podman generate systemd command now supports a new option, --template, to generate template unit files.
The podman generate systemd command now supports a new option, --start-timeout, to override the default start timeout for generated unit files (#11618).
The podman generate systemd command now supports a new option, --restart-sec, to override the default time before a failed unit is restarted by systemd for generated unit files.
The podman generate systemd command now supports three new options, --wants, --after, and --requires, which allow detailed control of systemd dependencies in generated unit files.
The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore commands can now print statistics about the checkpoint operation via a new option, --print-stats.
The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore commands can now checkpoint and restore containers which make use of file locks via a new option, --file-locks.
The podman container restore command can now be used with containers created using the host IPC namespace (--ipc=host).

The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore commands are now supported with the remote Podman client (#12007).
The podman inspect command on containers now includes additional output fields for checkpointed and restored containers, including information about when the container was checkpointed or restored, and the path to the checkpoint/restore log.
The podman secret list command now supports a new option, --filter, to filter what secrets are returned.
The podman image scp command can now be used to transfer images between users (both root and rootless) on the same system, without requiring sshd.
The podman image sign command now supports a new option, --authfile, to specify an alternative path to authentication credentials (#10866).
The podman load command now supports downloading files via HTTP and HTTPS if a URL is given (#11970).
The podman push command now supports a new option, --compression-format, to choose the compression algorithm used to compress image layers.
The podman volume create command now allows volumes using the local driver that require mounting to be used by non-root users. This allows tmpfs and bind volumes to be created by non-root users (#12013).
A new command, podman dial-stdio, has been added; this command should not be invoked directly, but is used by some clients of the Docker Remote API, and is provided for Docker compatibility (#11668).

Breaking Changes

Podman v4.0 will perform several schema migrations in the Podman database when it is first run. These schema migrations will cause Podman v3.x and earlier to be unable to read certain network configuration information from the database, so downgrading from Podman v4.0 to an earlier version will cause containers to lose their static IP, MAC address, and port bindings.
All endpoints of the Docker-compatible API now enforce that all image shortnames will be resolved to the Docker Hub for improved Docker compatibility. This behavior can be turned off via the compat_api_enforce_docker_hub option in containers.conf (#12320).
The Podman APIs for Manifest List and Network operations have been completely rewritten to address issues and inconsistencies in the previous APIs. Incompatible APIs should warn if they are used with an older Podman client.
The make install makefile target no longer implicitly builds Podman, and will fail if make was not run prior to it.
The podman rm --depends, podman rmi --force, and podman network rm --force commands can now remove pods if a they need to remove an infra container (e.g. podman rmi --force on the infra image will remove all pods and infra containers). Previously, any command that tried to remove an infra container would error.
The podman system reset command now removes all networks on the system, in addition to all volumes, pods, containers, and images.
If the CONTAINER_HOST environment variable is set, Podman will default to connecting to the remote Podman service specified by the environment variable, instead of running containers locally (#11196).
Healthcheck information from podman inspect on a container has had its JSON tag renamed from Healthcheck to Health for improved Docker compatibility. An alias has been added so that using the old name with the --format option will still work (#11645).
Secondary IP and IPv6 addresses from podman inspect on a container (SecondaryIPAddresses and SecondaryIPv6Addresses) have been changed from arrays of strings to arrays of structs for improved Docker compatibility (the struct now includes IP address and prefix length).
The podman volume rm --force command will now remove containers that depend on the volume that are running (previously, it would only remove stopped containers).
The output of the podman search command has been altered to remove the Index, Stars, and Automated columns, as these were not used by registries that are not Dockerhub.
The host.containers.internal entry in /etc/hosts for rootless containers now points to a public IP address of the host machine, to ensure the container can reach the host (the previous value, a slirp4netns address, did not actually point to the host) (#12000).
Containers created in pods that have an infra container can no longer independently configure a user namespace via --uidmap and --gidmap (#12669).
Several container states have been renamed internally - for example, the previous Configured state is now named Created, and the previous Created state is now Initialized. The podman ps command already normalized these names for Docker compatibility, so this will only be visible when inspecting containers with podman inspect.

Changes

Podman containers will now automatically add the container's short ID as a network alias when connected to a supporting network (#11748).
The podman machine stop command will now log when machines are successfully stopped (#11542).
The podman machine stop command now waits until the VM has stopped to return; previously, it returned immediately after the shutdown command was sent, without waiting for the VM to shut down.
VMs created by podman machine now delegate more cgroup controllers to the rootless user used to run containers, allowing for additional resource limits to be used (#13054).
The podman stop command will now log a warning to the console if the stop timeout expires and SIGKILL must be used to stop the container (#11854).
Several performance optimizations have been implemented that should speed up container and pod creation, and running containers and pods that forward large ranges of ports.
The --no-trunc argument to the podman search command now defaults to true.
Rootless port forwarding using the rootlessport port forwarder is now handled by a separate binary, not Podman itself, which results in significantly reduced memory usage (#10790).
The podman system connection ls command now has a separate output column to show which connection is currently the default (instead appending * to the default connection's name) (#12019).
The --kernel-memory option to podman run and podman create has been deprecated in the upstream OCI runtime specification, and is now also deprecated in Podman and will be removed in a future release. Use of the flag will result in a warning.
Podman will now ship build the pause image used by pods locally, instead of pulling it from the network (using the existing catatoinit binary used for podman run --init). This allows pods to be easily used on systems without an internet connection.
The --rootless-cni option to podman unshare has been renamed to --rootless-netns. The old name has been aliased to the new one and will still function, but may be removed in a future release.
The --cni-config-dir option to all Podman commands has been renamed to --network-config-dir as it will not be used with Netavark as well as CNI. The old name has been aliased to the new one and will still function, but may be removed in a future release.
The --format option to all Podman commands has been changed to improved functionality and Docker compatibility (#10974).
The podman ps --external flag previously required --all to also be specified; this is no longer true
The port-forwarding logic previously contined in the podman-machine-cni CNI plugin has been integrated directly into Podman. The podman-machine-cni plugin is no longer necessary and should be removed.
The --device flag to podman create, podman run, and podman pod create would previously refuse to mount devices when Podman was run as a non-root user and no permission to access the device was available; it will now mount these devices without checking permissions (#12704).

Fixed a bug where the --share=cgroup option to podman pod create controlled whether the pod used a shared Cgroup parent, not whether the Cgroup namespace was shared (#12765).
Fixed a bug where, when a Podman container using the slirp4netns network mode was run inside a systemd unit file, systemd could kill the slirp4netns process, which is shared between all containers for a given user (thus causing all slirp4netns-mode containers for that user to be unable to connect to the internet) (#13153).

API

3.4.0

Features

Pods now support init containers! Init containers are containers which run before the rest of the pod starts. There are two types of init containers: "always", which always run before the pod is started, and "once", which only run the first time the pod starts and are subsequently removed. They can be added using the podman create command's --init-ctr option.
Support for init containers has also been added to podman play kube and podman generate kube - init containers contained in Kubernetes YAML will be created as Podman init containers, and YAML generated by Podman will include any init containers created.
The podman play kube command now supports building images. If the --build option is given and a directory with the name of the specified image exists in the current working directory and contains a valid Containerfile or Dockerfile, the image will be built and used for the container.
The podman play kube command now supports a new option, --teardown, which removes any pods and containers created by the given Kubernetes YAML.
The podman generate kube command now generates annotations for SELinux mount options on volume (:z and :Z) that are respected by the podman play kube command.
A new command has been added, podman pod logs, to return logs for all containers in a pod at the same time.
Two new commands have been added, podman volume export (to export a volume to a tar file) and podman volume import) (to populate a volume from a given tar file).
The podman auto-update command now supports simple rollbacks. If a container fails to start after an automatic update, it will be rolled back to the previous image and restarted again.
Pods now share their user namespace by default, and the podman pod create command now supports the --userns option. This allows rootless pods to be created with the --userns=keep-id option.
The podman pod ps command now supports a new filter with its --filter option, until, which returns pods created before a given timestamp.
The podman image scp command has been added. This command allows images to be transferred between different hosts.
The podman stats command supports a new option, --interval, to specify the amount of time before the information is refreshed.
The podman inspect command now includes ports exposed (but not published) by containers (e.g. ports from --expose when --publish-all is not specified).
The podman inspect command now has a new boolean value, Checkpointed, which indicates that a container was stopped as a result of a podman container checkpoint operation.
Volumes created by podman volume create now support setting quotas when run atop XFS. The size and inode options allow the maximum size and maximum number of inodes consumed by a volume to be limited.
The podman info command now outputs information on what log drivers, network drivers, and volume plugins are available for use (#11265).
The podman info command now outputs the current log driver in use, and the variant and codename of the distribution in use.
The parameters of the VM created by podman machine init (amount of disk space, memory, CPUs) can now be set in containers.conf.
The podman machine ls command now shows additional information (CPUs, memory, disk size) about VMs managed by podman machine.
The podman ps command now includes healthcheck status in container state for containers that have healthchecks (#11527).

Changes

The podman build command has a new alias, podman buildx, to improve compatibility with Docker. We have already added support for many docker buildx flags to podman build and aim to continue to do so.
Cases where Podman is run without a user session or a writable temporary files directory will now produce better error messages.
The default log driver has been changed from file to journald. The file driver did not properly support log rotation, so this should lead to a better experience. If journald is not available on the system, Podman will automatically revert to the file.
Podman no longer depends on ip for removing networks (#11403).
The deprecated --macvlan flag to podman network create now warns when it is used. It will be removed entirely in the Podman 4.0 release.
The podman machine start command now prints a message when the VM is successfully started.
The podman stats command can now be used on containers that are paused.
The podman unshare command will now return the exit code of the command that was run in the user namespace (assuming the command was successfully run).
Successful healthchecks will no longer add a healthy line to the system log to reduce log spam.
As a temporary workaround for a lack of shortname prompts in the Podman remote client, VMs created by podman machine now default to only using the docker.io registry.

Bugfixes

3.3.0

Features

Containers inside VMs created by podman machine will now automatically handle port forwarding - containers in podman machine VMs that publish ports via --publish or --publish-all will have these ports not just forwarded on the VM, but also on the host system.
The podman play kube command's --network option now accepts advanced network options (e.g. --network slirp4netns:port_handler=slirp4netns) (#10807).
The podman play kube command now supports Kubernetes liveness probes, which will be created as Podman healthchecks.
Podman now provides a systemd unit, podman-restart.service, which, when enabled, will restart all containers that were started with --restart=always after the system reboots.
Rootless Podman can now be configured to use CNI networking by default by using the rootless_networking option in containers.conf.
Images can now be pulled using image:tag@digest syntax (e.g. podman pull fedora:34@sha256:1b0d4ddd99b1a8c8a80e885aafe6034c95f266da44ead992aab388e6aa91611a) (#6721).
The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore commands can now be used to checkpoint containers that are in pods, and restore those containers into pods.
The podman container restore command now features a new option, --publish, to change the ports that are forwarded to a container that is being restored from an exported checkpoint.
The podman container checkpoint command now features a new option, --compress, to specify the compression algorithm that will be used on the generated checkpoint.
The podman pull command can now pull multiple images at once (e.g. podman pull fedora:34 ubi8:latest will pull both specified images).
THe podman cp command can now copy files from one container into another directly (e.g. podman cp containera:/etc/hosts containerb:/etc/) (#7370).
The podman cp command now supports a new option, --archive, which controls whether copied files will be chown'd to the UID and GID of the user of the destination container.
The podman stats command now provides two additional metrics: Average CPU, and CPU time.
The podman pod create command supports a new flag, --pid, to specify the PID namespace of the pod. If specified, containers that join the pod will automatically share its PID namespace.
The podman pod create command supports a new flag, --infra-name, which allows the name of the pod's infra container to be set (#10794).
The podman auto-update command has had its output reformatted - it is now much clearer what images were pulled and what containers were updated.
The podman auto-update command now supports a new option, --dry-run, which reports what would be updated but does not actually perform the update (#9949).
The podman build command now supports a new option, --secret, to mount secrets into build containers.
The podman manifest remove command now has a new alias, podman manifest rm.
The podman login command now supports a new option, --verbose, to print detailed information about where the credentials entered were stored.
The podman events command now supports a new event, exec_died, which is produced when an exec session exits, and includes the exit code of the exec session.
The podman system connection add command now supports adding connections that connect using the tcp:// and unix:// URL schemes.
The podman system connection list command now supports a new flag, --format, to determine how the output is printed.
The podman volume prune and podman volume ls commands' --filter option now support a new filter, until, that matches volumes created before a certain time (#10579).
The podman ps --filter option's network filter now accepts a new value: container:, which matches containers that share a network namespace with a specific container (#10361).
The podman diff command can now accept two arguments, allowing two images or two containers to be specified; the diff between the two will be printed (#10649).
Podman can now optionally copy-up content from containers into volumes mounted into those containers earlier (at creation time, instead of at runtime) via the prepare_on_create option in containers.conf (#10262).
A new option, --gpus, has been added to podman create and podman run as a no-op for better compatibility with Docker. If the nvidia-container-runtime package is installed, GPUs should be automatically added to containers without using the flag.
If an invalid subcommand is provided, similar commands to try will now be suggested in the error message.

Changes

The podman system reset command now removes non-Podman (e.g. Buildah and CRI-O) containers as well.
The new port forwarding offered by podman machine requires gvproxy in order to function.
Podman will now automatically create the default CNI network if it does not exist, for both root and rootless users. This will only be done once per user - if the network is subsequently removed, it will not be recreated.
The install.cni makefile option has been removed. It is no longer required to distribute the default 87-podman.conflist CNI configuration file, as Podman will now automatically create it.
The --root option to Podman will not automatically clear all default storage options when set. Storage options can be set manually using --storage-opt (#10393).
The output of podman system connection list is now deterministic, with connections being sorted alpabetically by their name.
The auto-update service (podman-auto-update.service) has had its default timer adjusted so it now starts at a random time up to 15 minutes after midnight, to help prevent system congestion from numerous daily services run at once.
Systemd unit files generated by podman generate systemd now depend on network-online.target by default (#10655).
Systemd unit files generated by podman generate systemd now use Type=notify by default, instead of using PID files.
The podman info command's logic for detecting package versions on Gentoo has been improved, and should be significantly faster.

3.2.3

Security

This release addresses CVE-2021-3602, an issue with the podman build command with the --isolation chroot flag that results in environment variables from the host leaking into build containers.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where events related to images could occur before the relevant operation had completed (e.g. an image pull event could be written before the pull was finished) (#10812).
Fixed a bug where podman save would refuse to save images with an architecture different from that of the host (#10835).

Misc

Updated Buildah to v1.21.3
Updated the containers/common library to v0.38.16

3.2.2

Changes

Podman's handling of the Architecture field of images has been relaxed. Since 3.2.0, Podman required that the architecture of the image match the architecture of the system to run containers based on an image, but images often incorrectly report architecture, causing Podman to reject valid images (#10648 and #10682).
Podman no longer uses inotify to monitor for changes to CNI configurations. This removes potential issues where Podman cannot be run because a user has exhausted their available inotify sessions (#10686).

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where the podman cp would, when given a directory as its source and a target that existed and was a file, copy the contents of the directory into the parent directory of the file; this now results in an error.
Fixed a bug where the podman logs command would, when following a running container's logs, not include the last line of output from the container when it exited when the k8s-file driver was in use (#10675).
Fixed a bug where Podman would fail to run containers if systemd-resolved was incorrectly detected as the system's DNS server (#10733).
Fixed a bug where the podman exec -t command would only resize the exec session's TTY after the session started, leading to a race condition where the terminal would initially not have a size set (#10560).
Fixed a bug where Podman containers using the slirp4netns network mode would add an incorrect entry to /etc/hosts pointing the container's hostname to the wrong IP address.
Fixed a bug where Podman would create volumes specified by images with incorrect permissions (#10188 and #10606).
Fixed a bug where Podman would not respect the uid and gid options to podman volume create -o (#10620).
Fixed a bug where the podman run command could panic when parsing the system's cgroup configuration (#10666).
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman build -f - ... command did not read a Containerfile from STDIN (#10621).
Fixed a bug where the podman container restore --import command would fail to restore checkpoints created from privileged containers (#10615).
Fixed a bug where Podman was not respecting the TMPDIR environment variable when pulling images (#10698).
Fixed a bug where a number of Podman commands did not properly support using Go templates as an argument to the --format option.

API

Fixed a bug where the Compat Inspect endpoint for Containers did not include information on container healthchecks (#10457).
Fixed a bug where the Libpod and Compat Build endpoints for Images did not properly handle the devices query parameter (#10614).

Misc

Fixed a bug where the Makefile's make podman-remote-static target to build a statically-linked podman-remote binary was instead producing dynamic binaries (#10656).
Updated the containers/common library to v0.38.11

3.2.1

Changes

Podman now allows corrupt images (e.g. from restarting the system during an image pull) to be replaced by a podman pull of the same image (instead of requiring they be removed first, then re-pulled).

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where Podman would fail to start containers if a Seccomp profile was not available at /usr/share/containers/seccomp.json (#10556).
Fixed a bug where the podman machine start command failed on OS X machines with the AMD64 architecture and certain QEMU versions (#10555).
Fixed a bug where Podman would always use the slow path for joining the rootless user namespace.
Fixed a bug where the podman stats command would fail on Cgroups v1 systems when run on a container running systemd (#10602).
Fixed a bug where pre-checkpoint support for podman container checkpoint did not function correctly.
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman build command did not properly handle the -f option (#9871).
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman run command would sometimes not resize the container's terminal before execution began (#9859).
Fixed a bug where the --filter option to the podman image prune command was nonfunctional.
Fixed a bug where the podman logs -f command would exit before all output for a container was printed when the k8s-file log driver was in use (#10596).
Fixed a bug where Podman would not correctly detect that systemd-resolved was in use on the host and adjust DNS servers in the container appropriately under some circumstances (#10570).
Fixed a bug where the podman network connect and podman network disconnect commands acted improperly when containers were in the Created state, marking the changes as done but not actually performing them.

API

Fixed a bug where the Compat and Libpod Prune endpoints for Networks returned null, instead of an empty array, when nothing was pruned.
Fixed a bug where the Create API for Images would continue to pull images even if a client closed the connection mid-pull (#7558).
Fixed a bug where the Events API did not include some information (including labels) when sending events.
Fixed a bug where the Events API would, when streaming was not requested, send at most one event (#10529).

Misc

Updated the containers/common library to v0.38.9

3.2.0

Features

Docker Compose is now supported with rootless Podman (#9169).
The podman network connect, podman network disconnect, and podman network reload commands have been enabled for rootless Podman.
An experimental new set of commands, podman machine, was added to assist in managing virtual machines containing a Podman server. These are intended for easing the use of Podman on OS X by handling the creation of a Linux VM for running Podman.
The podman generate kube command can now be run on Podman named volumes (generating PersistentVolumeClaim YAML), in addition to pods and containers.
The podman play kube command now supports two new options, --ip and --mac, to set static IPs and MAC addresses for created pods (#8442 and #9731).
The podman play kube command's support for PersistentVolumeClaim YAML has been greatly improved.
The podman generate kube command now preserves the label used by podman auto-update to identify containers to update as a Kubernetes annotation, and the podman play kube command will convert this annotation back into a label. This allows podman auto-update to be used with containers created by podman play kube.
The podman play kube command now supports Kubernetes secretRef YAML (using the secrets support from podman secret) for environment variables.
Secrets can now be added to containers as environment variables using the type=env option to the --secret flag to podman create and podman run.
The podman start command now supports the --all option, allowing all containers to be started simultaneously with a single command. The --filter option has also been added to filter which containers to start when --all is used.
Filtering containers with the --filter option to podman ps and podman start now supports a new filter, restart-policy, to filter containers based on their restart policy.
The --group-add option to rootless podman run and podman create now accepts a new value, keep-groups, which instructs Podman to retain the supplemental groups of the user running Podman in the created container. This is only supported with the crun OCI runtime.
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --timeout. This sets a maximum time the container is allowed to run, after which it is killed (#6412).
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --pidfile. This will create a file when the container is started containing the PID of the first process in the container.
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --requires. The --requires option adds dependency containers - containers that must be running before the current container. Commands like podman start will automatically start the requirements of a container before starting the container itself.
Auto-updating containers can now be done with locally-built images, not just images hosted on a registry, by creating containers with the io.containers.autoupdate label set to local.
Podman now supports the Container Device Interface (CDI) standard.
Podman now adds an entry to /etc/hosts, host.containers.internal, pointing to the current gateway (which, for root containers, is usually a bridge interface on the host system) (#5651).
The podman ps, podman pod ps, podman network list, podman secret list, and podman volume list commands now support a --noheading option, which will cause Podman to omit the heading line including column names.
The podman unshare command now supports a new flag, --rootless-cni, to join the rootless network namespace. This allows commands to be run in the same network environment as rootless containers with CNI networking.
The --security-opt unmask= option to podman run and podman create now supports glob operations to unmask a group of paths at once (e.g. podman run --security-opt unmask=/proc/* ... will unmask all paths in /proc in the container).
The podman network prune command now supports a --filter option to filter which networks will be pruned.

Changes

The change in Podman 3.1.2 where the :z and :Z mount options for volumes were ignored for privileged containers has been reverted after discussion in #10209.
Podman's rootless CNI functionality no longer requires a sidecar container! The removal of the requirement for the rootless-cni-infra container means that rootless CNI is now usable on all architectures, not just AMD64, and no longer requires pulling an image (#8709).
The Image handling code used by Podman has seen a major rewrite to improve code sharing with our other projects, Buildah and CRI-O. This should result in fewer bugs and performance gains in the long term. Work on this is still ongoing.
The podman auto-update command now prunes previous versions of images after updating if they are unused, to prevent disk exhaustion after repeated updates (#10190).
The podman play kube now treats environment variables configured as references to a ConfigMap as mandatory unless the optional parameter was set; this better matches the behavior of Kubernetes.
Podman now supports the --context=default flag from Docker as a no-op for compatibility purposes.
When Podman is run as root, but without CAP_SYS_ADMIN being available, it will run in a user namespace using the same code as rootless Podman (instead of failing outright).
The podman info command now includes the path of the Seccomp profile Podman is using, available cgroup controllers, and whether Podman is connected to a remote service or running containers locally.
Containers created with the --rm option now automatically use the volatile storage flag when available for their root filesystems, causing them not to write changes to disk as often as they will be removed at completion anyways. This should result in improved performance.
The podman generate systemd --new command will now include environment variables referenced by the container in generated unit files if the value would be looked up from the system environment.
Podman now requires that Conmon v2.0.24 be available.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman build command did not support the --arch, --platform, and --os, options.
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman build command ignored the --rm=false option (#9869).
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman build --iidfile command could include extra output (in addition to just the image ID) in the image ID file written (#10233).
Fixed a bug where the remote Podman client's podman build command did not preserve hardlinks when moving files into the container via COPY instructions (#9893).
Fixed a bug where the podman generate systemd --new command could generate extra --iidfile arguments if the container was already created with one.
Fixed a bug where the podman generate systemd --new command would generate unit files that did not include RequiresMountsFor lines (#10493).
Fixed a bug where the podman generate kube command produced incorrect YAML for containers which bind-mounted both / and /root from the host system into the container (#9764).
Fixed a bug where pods created by podman play kube from YAML that specified ShareProcessNamespace would only share the PID namespace (and not also the UTS, Network, and IPC namespaces) (#9128).
Fixed a bug where the podman network reload command could generate spurious error messages when iptables-nft was in use.
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman could fail to attach to containers when the user running Podman had a large UID.
Fixed a bug where the podman ps command could fail with a no such container error due to a race condition with container removal (#10120).
Fixed a bug where containers using the slirp4netns network mode and setting a custom slirp4netns subnet while using the rootlesskit port forwarder would not be able to forward ports (#9828).
Fixed a bug where the --filter ancestor= option to podman ps did not require an exact match of the image name/ID to include a container in its results.
Fixed a bug where the --filter until= option to podman image prune would prune images created after the specified time (instead of before).
Fixed a bug where setting a custom Seccomp profile via the seccomp_profile option in containers.conf had no effect, and the default profile was used instead.
Fixed a bug where the --cgroup-parent option to podman create and podman run was ignored in rootless Podman on cgroups v2 systems with the cgroupfs cgroup manager (#10173).
Fixed a bug where the IMAGE and NAME variables in podman container runlabel were not being correctly substituted (#10192).
Fixed a bug where Podman could freeze when creating containers with a specific combination of volumes and working directory (#10216).
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman containers restarted by restart policy (e.g. containers created with --restart=always) would lose networking after being restarted (#8047).
Fixed a bug where the podman cp command could not copy files into containers created with the --pid=host flag (#9985).
Fixed a bug where filters to the podman events command could not be specified twice (if a filter is specified more than once, it will match if any of the given values match - logical or) (#10507).
Fixed a bug where Podman would include IPv6 nameservers in resolv.conf in containers without IPv6 connectivity (#10158).
Fixed a bug where containers could not be created with static IP addresses when connecting to a network using the macvlan driver (#10283).

Misc

Updated Buildah to v1.20.1
Updated the containers/storage library to v1.29.0
Updated the containers/image library to v5.11.0

3.1.0

Features

A set of new commands has been added to manage secrets! The podman secret create, podman secret inspect, podman secret ls and podman secret rm commands have been added to handle secrets, along with the --secret option to podman run and podman create to add secrets to containers. The initial driver for secrets does not support encryption - this will be added in a future release.
A new command to prune networks, podman network prune, has been added (#8673).
The -v option to podman run and podman create now supports a new volume option, :U, to chown the volume's source directory on the host to match the UID and GID of the container and prevent permissions issues (#7778).
Three new commands, podman network exists, podman volume exists, and podman manifest exists, have been added to check for the existence of networks, volumes, and manifest lists.
The podman cp command can now copy files into directories mounted as tmpfs in a running container.
The podman volume prune command will now list volumes that will be pruned when prompting the user whether to continue and perform the prune (#8913).
The Podman remote client's podman build command now supports the --disable-compression, --excludes, and --jobs options.
The Podman remote client's podman push command now supports the --format option.
The Podman remote client's podman rm command now supports the --all and --ignore options.
The Podman remote client's podman search command now supports the --no-trunc and --list-tags options.
The podman play kube command can now read in Kubernetes YAML from STDIN when - is specified as file name (podman play kube -), allowing input to be piped into the command for scripting (#8996).
The podman generate systemd command now supports a --no-header option, which disables creation of the header comment automatically added by Podman to generated unit files.
The podman generate kube command can now generate PersistentVolumeClaim YAML for Podman named volumes (#5788).
The podman generate kube command can now generate YAML files containing multiple resources (pods or deployments) (#9129).

Security

This release resolves CVE-2021-20291, a deadlock vulnerability in the storage library caused by pulling a specially-crafted container image.

Changes

The Podman remote client's podman build command no longer allows the -v flag to be used. Volumes are not yet supported with remote Podman when the client and service are on different machines.
The podman kill and podman stop commands now print the name given by the user for each container, instead of the full ID.
When the --security-opt unmask=ALL or --security-opt unmask=/sys/fs/cgroup options to podman create or podman run are given, Podman will mount cgroups into the container as read-write, instead of read-only (#8441).
The podman rmi command has been changed to better handle cases where an image is incomplete or corrupted, which can be caused by interrupted image pulls.
The podman rename command has been improved to be more atomic, eliminating many race conditions that could potentially render a renamed container unusable.
Detection of which OCI runtimes run using virtual machines and thus require custom SELinux labelling has been improved (#9582).
The hidden --trace option to podman has been turned into a no-op. It was used in very early versions for performance tracing, but has not been supported for some time.
The podman generate systemd command now generates RequiresMountsFor lines to ensure necessary storage directories are mounted before systemd starts Podman.
Podman will now emit a warning when --tty and --interactive are both passed, but STDIN is not a TTY. This will be made into an error in the next major Podman release some time next year.

Fixed a bug where the --isolation option to podman build in the remote Podman client was nonfunctional.
Fixed a bug where the podman network disconnect command could cause errors when the container that had a network removed was stopped and its network was cleaned up (#9602).
Fixed a bug where the podman network rm command did not properly check what networks a container was present in, resulting in unexpected behavior if podman network connect or podman network disconnect had been used with the network (#9632).

Misc

Updated Buildah to v1.19.4
Updated the containers/storage library to v1.24.6

3.0.0

Features

Added the podman rename command, which allows containers to be renamed after they are created (#1925).
The Podman remote client now supports the podman copy command.
A new command, podman network reload, has been added. This command will re-configure the network of all running containers, and can be used to recreate firewall rules lost when the system firewall was reloaded (e.g. via firewall-cmd --reload).
Podman networks now have IDs. They can be seen in podman network ls and can be used when removing and inspecting networks. Existing networks receive IDs automatically.
Podman networks now also support labels. They can be added via the --label option to network create, and podman network ls can filter labels based on them.
The podman network create command now supports setting bridge MTU and VLAN through the --opt option (#8454).
The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore commands can now checkpoint and restore containers that include volumes.
The podman container checkpoint command now supports the --with-previous and --pre-checkpoint options, and the podman container restore command now support the --import-previous option. These add support for two-step checkpointing with lowered dump times.
The podman push command can now push manifest lists. Podman will first attempt to push as an image, then fall back to pushing as a manifest list if that fails.
The podman generate kube command can now be run on multiple containers at once, and will generate a single pod containing all of them.
The podman generate kube and podman play kube commands now support Kubernetes DNS configuration, and will preserve custom DNS configuration when exporting or importing YAML (#9132).
The podman generate kube command now properly supports generating YAML for containers and pods creating using host networking (--net=host) (#9077).
The podman kill command now supports a --cidfile option to kill containers given a file containing the container's ID (#8443).
The podman pod create command now supports the --net=none option (#9165).

Initial support has been added for Docker Volume Plugins. Podman can now define available plugins in containers.conf and use them to create volumes with podman volume create --driver.
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new option, --platform, to specify the platform of the image to be used when creating the container.
The --security-opt option to podman run and podman create now supports the systempaths=unconfined option to unrestrict access to all paths in the container, as well as mask and unmask options to allow more granular restriction of container paths.
The podman stats --format command now supports a new format specified, MemUsageBytes, which prints the raw bytes of memory consumed by a container without human-readable formatting #8945.
The podman ps command can now filter containers based on what pod they are joined to via the pod filter (#8512).
The podman pod ps command can now filter pods based on what networks they are joined to via the network filter.

Configuration options for slirp4netns can now be set system-wide via the NetworkCmdOptions configuration option in containers.conf.
The MTU of slirp4netns can now be configured via the mtu= network command option (e.g. podman run --net slirp4netns:mtu=9000).

Security

A fix for CVE-2021-20199 is included. Podman between v1.8.0 and v2.2.1 used 127.0.0.1 as the source address for all traffic forwarded into rootless containers by a forwarded port; this has been changed to address the issue.

Changes

Shortname aliasing support has now been turned on by default. All Podman commands that must pull an image will, if a TTY is available, prompt the user about what image to pull.
The podman load command no longer accepts a NAME[:TAG] argument. The presence of this argument broke CLI compatibility with Docker by making docker load commands unusable with Podman (#7387).
The Go bindings for the HTTP API have been rewritten with a focus on limiting dependency footprint and improving extensibility. Read more here.
The legacy Varlink API has been completely removed from Podman.
The default log level for Podman has been changed from Error to Warn.
The podman network create command can now create macvlan networks using the --driver macvlan option for Docker compatibility. The existing --macvlan flag has been deprecated and will be removed in Podman 4.0 some time next year.
The podman inspect command has had the LogPath and LogTag fields moved into the LogConfig structure (from the root of the Inspect structure). The maximum size of the log file is also included.
The podman generate systemd command no longer generates unit files using the deprecated KillMode=none option (#8615).
The podman stop command now releases the container lock while waiting for it to stop - as such, commands like podman ps will no longer block until podman stop completes (#8501).
Networks created with podman network create --internal no longer use the dnsname plugin. This configuration never functioned as expected.
Error messages for the remote Podman client have been improved when it cannot connect to a Podman service.
Error messages for podman run when an invalid SELinux is specified have been improved.
Rootless Podman features improved support for containers with a single user mapped into the rootless user namespace.
Pod infra containers now respect default sysctls specified in containers.conf allowing for advanced configuration of the namespaces they will share.
SSH public key handling for remote Podman has been improved.

Misc

Updated Buildah to v1.19.2
Updated the containers/storage library to v1.24.5
Updated the containers/image library to v5.10.2
Updated the containers/common library to v0.33.4

v2.2.1

Changes

Due to a conflict with a previously-removed field, we were forced to modify the way image volumes (mounting images into containers using --mount type=image) were handled in the database. As a result, containers created in Podman 2.2.0 with image volumes will not have them in v2.2.1, and these containers will need to be re-created.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would, on systems without the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable defined, use an incorrect path for the PID file of the Podman pause process, causing Podman to fail to start (#8539).
Fixed a bug where containers created using Podman v1.7 and earlier were unusable in Podman due to JSON decode errors (#8613).
Fixed a bug where Podman could retrieve invalid cgroup paths, instead of erroring, for containers that were not running.
Fixed a bug where the podman system reset command would print a warning about a duplicate shutdown handler being registered.
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would attempt to mount sysfs in circumstances where it was not allowed; some OCI runtimes (notably crun) would fall back to alternatives and not fail, but others (notably runc) would fail to run containers.
Fixed a bug where the podman run and podman create commands would fail to create containers from untagged images (#8558).
Fixed a bug where remote Podman would prompt for a password even when the server did not support password authentication (#8498).
Fixed a bug where the podman exec command did not move the Conmon process for the exec session into the correct cgroup.
Fixed a bug where shell completion for the ancestor option to podman ps --filter did not work correctly.
Fixed a bug where detached containers would not properly clean themselves up (or remove themselves if --rm was set) if the Podman command that created them was invoked with --log-level=debug.

API

Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for Containers did not properly handle the Binds and Mounts parameters in HostConfig.
Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for Containers ignored the Name query parameter.
Fixed a bug where the Compat Create endpoint for Containers did not properly handle the "default" value for NetworkMode (this value is used extensively by docker-compose) (#8544).
Fixed a bug where the Compat Build endpoint for Images would sometimes incorrectly use the target query parameter as the image's tag.

Misc

Podman v2.2.0 vendored a non-released, custom version of the github.com/spf13/cobra package; this has been reverted to the latest upstream release to aid in packaging.
Updated the containers/image library to v5.9.0

2.2.0

Features

Experimental support for shortname aliasing has been added. This is not enabled by default, but can be turned on by setting the environment variable CONTAINERS_SHORT_NAME_ALIASING to on. Documentation is available here.
Initial support has been added for the podman network connect and podman network disconnect commands, which allow existing containers to modify what networks they are connected to. At present, these commands can only be used on running containers that did not specify --network=none when they were created.
The podman run command now supports the --network-alias option to set network aliases (additional names the container can be accessed at from other containers via DNS if the dnsname CNI plugin is in use). Aliases can also be added and removed using the new podman network connect and podman network disconnect commands. Please note that this requires a new release (v1.1.0) of the dnsname plugin, and will only work on newly-created CNI networks.
The podman generate kube command now features support for exporting container's memory and CPU limits (#7855).
The podman play kube command now features support for setting CPU and Memory limits for containers (#7742).
The podman play kube command now supports persistent volumes claims using Podman named volumes.
The podman play kube command now supports Kubernetes configmaps via the --configmap option (#7567).
The podman play kube command now supports a --log-driver option to set the log driver for created containers.
The podman play kube command now supports a --start option, enabled by default, to start the pod after creating it. This allows for podman play kube to be more easily used in systemd unitfiles.
The podman network create command now supports the --ipv6 option to enable dual-stack IPv6 networking for created networks (#7302).
The podman inspect command can now inspect pods, networks, and volumes, in addition to containers and images (#6757).
The --mount option for podman run and podman create now supports a new type, image, to mount the contents of an image into the container at a given location.
The Bash and ZSH completions have been completely reworked and have received significant enhancements! Additionally, support for Fish completions and completions for the podman-remote executable have been added.
The --log-opt option for podman create and podman run now supports the max-size option to set the maximum size for a container's logs (#7434).
The --network option to the podman pod create command now allows pods to be configured to use slirp4netns networking, even when run as root (#6097).
The podman pod stop, podman pod pause, podman pod unpause, and podman pod kill commands now work on multiple containers in parallel and should be significantly faster.
The podman search command now supports a --list-tags option to list all available tags for a single image in a single repository.
The podman search command can now output JSON using the --format=json option.
The podman diff and podman mount commands now work with all containers in the storage library, including those not created by Podman. This allows them to be used with Buildah and CRI-O containers.
The podman container exists command now features a --external option to check if a container exists not just in Podman, but also in the storage library. This will allow Podman to identify Buildah and CRI-O containers.
The --tls-verify and --authfile options have been enabled for use with remote Podman.
The /etc/hosts file now includes the container's name and hostname (both pointing to localhost) when the container is run with --net=none (#8095).
The podman events command now supports filtering events based on the labels of the container they occurred on using the --filter label=key=value option.
The podman volume ls command now supports filtering volumes based on their labels using the --filter label=key=value option.
The --volume and --mount options to podman run and podman create now support two new mount propagation options, unbindable and runbindable.
The name and id filters for podman pod ps now match based on a regular expression, instead of requiring an exact match.
The podman pod ps command now supports a new filter status, that matches pods in a certain state.

Changes

The podman network rm --force command will now also remove pods that are using the network (#7791).
The podman volume rm, podman network rm, and podman pod rm commands now return exit code 1 if the object specified for removal does not exist, and exit code 2 if the object is in use and the --force option was not given.
If /dev/fuse is passed into Podman containers as a device, Podman will open it before starting the container to ensure that the kernel module is loaded on the host and the device is usable in the container.
Global Podman options that were not supported with remote operation have been removed from podman-remote (e.g. --cgroup-manager, --storage-driver).
Many errors have been changed to remove repetition and be more clear as to what has gone wrong.
The --storage option to podman rm is now enabled by default, with slightly changed semantics. If the given container does not exist in Podman but does exist in the storage library, it will be removed even without the --storage option. If the container exists in Podman it will be removed normally. The --storage option for podman rm is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
The --storage option to podman ps has been renamed to --external. An alias has been added so the old form of the option will continue to work.
Podman now delays the SIGTERM and SIGINT signals during container creation to ensure that Podman is not stopped midway through creating a container resulting in potential resource leakage (#7941).
The podman save command now strips signatures from images it is exporting, as the formats we export to do not support signatures (#7659).
A new Degraded state has been added to pods. Pods that have some, but not all, of their containers running are now considered to be Degraded instead of Running.
Podman will now print a warning when conflicting network options related to port forwarding (e.g. --publish and --net=host) are specified when creating a container.
The --restart on-failure and --rm options for containers no longer conflict. When both are specified, the container will be restarted if it exits with a non-zero error code, and removed if it exits cleanly (#7906).
Remote Podman will no longer use settings from the client's containers.conf; defaults will instead be provided by the server's containers.conf (#7657).
The podman network rm command now has a new alias, podman network remove (#8402).

Fixed a bug where podman image prune could leave images ready to be pruned after podman image prune was run (#7872).
Fixed a bug where the podman logs command with the journald log driver would not read all available logs (#7476).

Fixed a bug where the --format "table {{ .Field }}" option to numerous Podman commands ceased to function on Podman v2.0 and up.
Fixed a bug where pods did not properly share an SELinux label between their containers, resulting in containers being unable to see the processes of other containers when the pod shared a PID namespace (#7886).

Fixed a bug where the podman network create and podman network remove commands could race when run in parallel, with unpredictable results (#7807).
Fixed a bug where the -p option to podman run, podman create, and podman pod create would, when given only a single number (e.g. -p 80), assign the same port for both host and container, instead of generating a random host port (#7947).
Fixed a bug where Podman containers did not properly store the cgroup manager they were created with, causing them to stop functioning after the cgroup manager was changed in containers.conf or with the --cgroup-manager option (#7830).

Fixed a bug where Podman did not properly handle cases where an OCI runtime is specified by its full path, and could revert to using another OCI runtime with the same binary path that existed in the system $PATH on subsequent invocations.
Fixed a bug where the --net=host option to podman create and podman run would cause the /etc/hosts file to be incorrectly populated (#8054).

2.1.0

Features

A new command, podman image mount, has been added. This allows for an image to be mounted, read-only, to inspect its contents without creating a container from it (#1433).
The podman save and podman load commands can now create and load archives containing multiple images (#2669).
Rootless Podman now supports all podman network commands, and rootless containers can now be joined to networks.
The performance of podman build on ADD and COPY instructions has been greatly improved, especially when a .dockerignore is present.
The podman run and podman create commands now support a new mode for the --cgroups option, --cgroups=split. Podman will create two cgroups under the cgroup it was launched in, one for the container and one for Conmon. This mode is useful for running Podman in a systemd unit, as it ensures that all processes are retained in systemd's cgroup hierarchy (#6400).
The podman run and podman create commands can now specify options to slirp4netns by using the --network option as follows: --net slirp4netns:opt1,opt2. This allows for, among other things, switching the port forwarder used by slirp4netns away from rootlessport.
The podman ps command now features a new option, --storage, to show containers from Buildah, CRI-O and other applications.
The podman run and podman create commands now feature a --sdnotify option to control the behavior of systemd's sdnotify with containers, enabling improved support for Podman in Type=notify units.
The podman run command now features a --preserve-fds option to pass file descriptors from the host into the container (#6458).
The podman run and podman create commands can now create overlay volume mounts, by adding the :O option to a bind mount (e.g. -v /test:/test:O). Overlay volume mounts will mount a directory into a container from the host and allow changes to it, but not write those changes back to the directory on the host.
The podman play kube command now supports the Socket HostPath type (#7112).
The podman play kube command now supports read-only mounts.
The podman play kube command now supports setting labels on pods from Kubernetes metadata labels.
The podman play kube command now supports setting container restart policy (#7656).
The podman play kube command now properly handles HostAlias entries.
The podman generate kube command now adds entries to /etc/hosts from --host-add generated YAML as HostAlias entries.
The podman play kube and podman generate kube commands now properly support shareProcessNamespace to share the PID namespace in pods.
The podman volume ls command now supports the dangling filter to identify volumes that are dangling (not attached to any container).
The podman run and podman create commands now feature a --umask option to set the umask of the created container.
The podman create and podman run commands now feature a --tz option to set the timezone within the container (#5128).
Environment variables for Podman can now be added in the containers.conf configuration file.
The --mount option of podman run and podman create now supports a new mount type, type=devpts, to add a devpts mount to the container. This is useful for containers that want to mount /dev/ from the host into the container, but still create a terminal.
The --security-opt flag to podman run and podman create now supports a new option, proc-opts, to specify options for the container's /proc filesystem.
Podman with the crun OCI runtime now supports a new option to podman run and podman create, --cgroup-conf, which allows for advanced configuration of cgroups on cgroups v2 systems.
The podman create and podman run commands now support a --override-variant option, to override the architecture variant of the image that will be pulled and ran.
A new global option has been added to Podman, --runtime-flags, which allows for setting flags to use when the OCI runtime is called.
The podman manifest add command now supports the --cert-dir, --auth-file, --creds, and --tls-verify options.

Security

This release resolves CVE-2020-14370, in which environment variables could be leaked between containers created using the Varlink API.

Changes

Podman will now retry pulling an image 3 times if a pull fails due to network errors.
The podman exec command would previously print error messages (e.g. exec session exited with non-zero exit code -1) when the command run exited with a non-0 exit code. It no longer does this. The podman exec command will still exit with the same exit code as the command run in the container did.
Error messages when creating a container or pod with a name that is already in use have been improved.
For read-only containers running systemd init, Podman creates a tmpfs filesystem at /run. This was previously limited to 65k in size and mounted noexec, but is now unlimited size and mounted exec.
The podman system reset command no longer removes configuration files for rootless Podman.

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where Podman would not add an entry to /etc/hosts for a container if it joined another container's network namespace (#66782).
Fixed a bug where podman save --format oci-dir saved the image in an incorrect format (#6544).

Fixed a bug where podman images could segfault when an image pull was aborted while incomplete, leaving an image without a manifest (#7444).
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would try to create the ~/.config directory when it did not exist, despite not placing any configuration files inside the directory.

Fixed a bug where the podman runlabel command would not pull images that did not exist locally on the system.
Fixed a bug where podman-remote run would not exit with the correct code with the container was removed by a podman-remote rm -f while podman-remote run was still running (#7117).
Fixed a bug where the podman-remote run --rm command would error attempting to remove containers that had already been removed (e.g. by podman-remote rm --force) (#7340).

Fixed a bug where podman run --userns=keepid could create entries in /etc/passwd with a UID that was already in use by another user (#7503).
Fixed a bug where podman --user with a numeric user and podman run --userns=keepid could create users that could not be logged into (#7499).

Rootless containers now unconditionally use postrun cleanup processes, ensuring resources are freed when the container stops
A new version of Buildah is included for podman build, featuring improved build speed and numerous bugfixes
Pulling images has been parallelized, allowing individual layers to be pulled in parallel
The podman start --attach command now defaults the sig-proxy option to true, matching podman create and podman run

Changed podman generate kube to generate Kubernetes service YAML in the same file as pod YAML, generating a single file instead of two
To improve compatibility with the Docker command line, podman inspect -f '{{ json .ContainerConfig }}' on images is no longer valid; please use podman inspect -f '{{ json .Config }}' instead

0.12.1.2

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where an empty path for named volumes could make it impossible to create containers

The podman pod stop flag now accepts a --timeout flag to set the timeout for stopping containers in the pod

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would fail to start if the default OCI hooks directory is not present

0.12.1

Features

Rootless Podman now creates the storage.conf, libpod.conf, and mounts.conf configuration files automatically in ~/.config/containers/ for ease of reconfiguration
The podman pod create command can expose ports in the pod's network namespace, allowing public services to be created in pods
The podman container checkpoint command can now keep containers running after they are checkpointed with the --leave-running flag
The podman container checkpoint and podman container restore commands now support the --tcp-established flag to checkpoint and restore containers with active TCP connections
The podman version command now has a --format flag to produce machine-readable output
Added the podman container exists, podman pod exists, and podman image exists commands to easily check for a container/pod/image, respectively, by name or ID
The podman ps --pod flag now has a short alias, -p

Bugfixes

Fixed a breaking change in rootless Podman where a change in default paths caused Podman to be unable to function on systems upgraded from 0.10.x or earlier
Fixed a bug where podman exec without -t would still use a terminal if the container was created with -t
Fixed a bug where container root propagation was not being properly adjusted if volumes with root propagation set were mounted into the container
Fixed a bug where podman exec could hold the container lock longer than necessary waiting for an exited container
Fixed a bug where rootless containers using slirp4netns for networking were reporting using bridge networking in podman inspect
Fixed a bug where podman container restore -a was attempting to restore all containers, including created and running ones. It will now only attempt to restore stopped and exited containers

Fixed a bug where privileged containers were being mounted with incorrect (too restrictive) mount options such as nodev
Fixed a bug where podman stop would throw an error attempting to stop a container that had already stopped
Fixed a bug where NOTIFY_SOCKET was not properly being passed into Podman containers
Fixed a bug where /dev/shm was not properly mounted in rootless containers
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would set up the CNI plugins for networking (despite not using them in rootless mode), potentially causing inotify related errors
Fixed a bug where Podman would error on numeric GIDs that do not exist in the container's /etc/group
Fixed a bug where containers in pods or created with --net=container were not mounting /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts

Misc

Improved podman runlabel support for labels featuring arguments with whitespace
Containers without a network namespace will now use the host's resolv.conf
The slirp4netns network mode can now be used with containers running as root. It may be useful for container-in-container scenarios where the outer container does not have host networking set
Podman now uses inotify to wait for container exit files to be created, instead of polling. If inotify cannot be used, Podman will fall back to polling to check if the file has been created
The podman logs command now uses improved short-options handling, allowing its flags to be combined if desired (for example, podman logs -lf instead of podman logs -l -f)
Hardcoded OCI hooks directories used by Podman are now deprecated; they should instead be coded into the libpod.conf configuration file. They can be specified as an array via hooks_dir

0.11.1.1

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where Podman was not correctly adding firewall rules for containers, preventing them from accessing the network
Fixed a bug where full error messages were being lost when creating containers with user namespaces
Fixed a bug where container state was not properly updated if a failure occurred during network setup, which could cause mounts to be left behind when the container was removed
Fixed a bug where podman exec could time out on slower systems by increasing the relevant timeout

Misc

podman rm -f now removes paused containers. As such, podman rm -af completing successfully guarantees all Podman containers have been removed

Made a small output format change to podman images - image sizes now feature a space between number and unit (e.g. 123 MB now instead of 123MB)
Vendored an updated version of containers/storage to fix several bugs reported upstream

0.11.1

Features

Added --all and --latest flags to podman checkpoint and podman restore

Fixed a bug where environment variables with no specified value (e.g. -e FOO) caused errors (they are now added as empty)
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman would attempt to configure the system firewall, causing errors on some systems where iptables is not in the user's PATH
Fixed a bug where rootless Podman was unable to successfully write the container ID to a file when --cid-file was specified to podman run
Fixed a bug where podman unmount would refuse to unmount a container if it was running (the unmount will now be deferred until the container stops)
Fixed a bug where rootless podman attach would fail to attach due to a too-long path name
Fixed a bug where podman info was not properly reporting the Git commit Podman was built from
Fixed a bug where podman run --interactive was not holding STDIN open when -a flag was specified

Fixed a bug where podman run with the --user flag would fail if the container image did not contain /etc/passwd or /etc/group

Misc

podman rm, podman restart, podman kill, podman pause, and podman unpause now operate in parallel, greatly improving speed when multiple containers are specified
podman create, podman run, and podman ps have a number of improvements which should greatly increase their speed
Greatly improved performance and reduced memory utilization of container status checks, which should improve the speed of most Podman commands
Improve ability of podman runlabel to run commands that are not Podman
Podman containers with an IP address now add their hostnames to /etc/hosts
Changed default location of temporary libpod files in rootless Podman
Updated the default Podman seccomp profile

Compatibility

Several paths related to rootless Podman had their default values changed in this release. If paths were not hardcoded in libpod.conf, your system may lose track of running containers and believe they are newly-created.

0.10.1.3

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug where podman build would not work while any containers were running

0.10.1.2

Bugfixes

Fixed cgroup mount for containers using systemd as init to work properly with the systemd cgroup manager

0.10.1.1

Features

Added handling for running containers as users with numeric UIDs not present in the container's /etc/passwd. This allows getpwuid() to work inside these containers.
Added support for the REGISTRY_AUTH_FILE environment variable, which specifies the location of credentials for registry login. This is supported by the push, pull, login, logout, runlabel, and search commands

Bugfixes

Fixed handling for image volumes which are mounted on symlinks. The links are now resolved within the container, not on the host
Fixed mounts for containers that use systemd as init to properly include all mounts required by systemd to function

Updated vendored version of Buildah used to power podman build
Added version of vendored Buildah to podman info to better debug issues

0.9.3.1

Bugfixes

Fixed a critical issue where SELinux contexts set on tmpfs volumes were causing runc crashes

0.9.3

Features

Added a flag to libpod.conf, label, to globally enable/disable SELinux labelling for libpod
Added --mount flag to podman create and podman run as a new, more explicit way of specifying volume mounts

Bugfixes

Bugfixes

Updated Buildah dependency to fix several bugs in podman build

Misc

Small performance improvement in image handling code to not recalculate digests

0.9.2

Features

Added --interval flag to podman wait to determine the interval between checks for container status
Added a switch in libpod.conf to disable reserving ports for running containers. This lowers the safety of port allocations, but can significantly reduce memory usage.
Added ability to search all the contents of a registry if no image name is specified when using podman search

Bugfixes

Further fixes for sharing of UTS namespaces within pods
Fixed a deadlock in containers/storage that could be caused by numerous parallel Podman processes.
Fixed Podman running into open file limits when many ports are forwarded
Fixed default mount propagation on volume mounts
Fixed default mounts under /dev remaining if /dev is bind-mounted into the container
Fixed rootless podman create with no command specified throwing an error

Misc

Added podman rm --volumes flag for compatibility with Docker. As Podman does not presently support named volumes, this does nothing for now, but provides improved compatibility with the Docker command line.
Improved error messages from podman pull

Compatibility

Podman is no longer being built by default with support for the Devicemapper storage driver. If you are using this storage driver, you should investigate switching to overlayfs.

0.9.1.1

Bugfixes

Added support for configuring iptables and firewalld firewalls to allow container traffic. This should resolve numerous issues with network access in containers.

Note

It is recommended that you restart your system firewall after installing this release to clear any firewall rules created by older Podman versions. If port forwarding to containers does not work, it is recommended that you restart your system.

0.9.1

Features

Added initial support for the podman pod command as non-root

Bugfixes

Fixed regression where invalid Podman commands would still cause a clean exit
Fixed podman rmi --all to not error if no images are present on the system
Fixed parsing of container logs with podman logs to properly handle CRI logging, fixing some issues with blank lines in logs
Fixed a bug creating pod cgroups using the systemd cgroup driver with systemd versions 239 and higher
Fixed handling of volume mounts that overlapped with default container mounts (for example, podman run -v /dev/:/dev)
Fixed sharing of UTS namespace in pods

Misc

Added additional debug information when pulling images if --log-level=debug is specified
podman build now defaults to caching intermediate layers while building

0.8.5

Features

Added the ability to add a multipart entrypoint with podman run --entrypoint
Improved help text when invalid commands are specified
Greatly improved support for containers which use systemd as init

Bugfixes

Fixed several bugs with rootless podman exec
Fixed rootless podman with a symlinked storage directory crashing
Fixed bug with podman ps and multiple filters where the interface did not match Docker
Fixed handling of resolv.conf on the host to handle symlinks
Increased open file descriptor and process limits to match Docker and Buildah
Fixed podman run -h to specify the container's hostname (as it does in Docker) instead of printing help text
Fixed a bug with image shortname handling where repositories were incorrectly being treated as registries
Fixed a bug where podman wait was busywaiting and consuming large amounts of CPU

0.8.4

Features

Added the podman pod top command
Added the ability to easily share namespaces within a pod
Added a pod statistics endpoint to the Varlink API
Added information on container capabilities to the output of podman inspect

Bugfixes

Fixed a bug with the --device flag in podman run and podman create
Fixed podman pod stats to accept partial pod IDs and pod names
Fixed a bug with OCI hooks handling ALWAYS matches
Fixed a bug with privileged rootless containers with --net=host set
Fixed a bug where podman exec --user would not work with usernames, only numeric IDs
Fixed a bug where Podman was forwarding both TCP and UDP ports to containers when protocol was not specified
Fixed issues with Apparmor in rootless containers
Fixed an issue with database encoding causing some containers created by Podman versions 0.8.1 and below to be unusable.

Compatibility:

We switched JSON encoding/decoding to a new library for this release to address a compatibility issue introduced by v0.8.2. However, this may cause issues with containers created in 0.8.2 and 0.8.3 with custom DNS servers.
