Podman + Sysbox Integration

Sysbox should support Podman.

Podman is a RedHat's default container-management tool. Podman is specially useful in development phases as it can simply launch containers (through a docker-like cli interface), and it can easily convert container-definition files into K8 yaml recipes, which is quite handy to quickly test new PODs within a K8 cluster. In addition, Podman supports per-container user-namespace UID mappings, which gels wells with Sysbox.

Scott McCarthy and Giuseppe Scrivano from RedHat suggested that we consider:

  • Using Podman to deploy system containers with Sysbox.

  • Enabling system containers to run Podman inside.

Are there any soon-ish plans to implement this?

Hi @imachug, unfortunately no concrete plans right now to support this due to other priorities.
