Add podman:// support as replica of docker://
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
lnav git implements the docker:// URL scheme. Podman is a highly popular alternative, designed for running images in rootless mode.
Having podman:// URL scheme support for Podman would round off container logs support.
Describe the solution you'd like
URL scheme support for podman:// - quite literally a clone of docker://
The Podman CLI is designed to be fully compatible with the Docker CLI; the tooling is expected to have matching behaviour. Hence calling podman instead of docker should work well.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Installing a docker compatibility layer for podman would be a work-around only.
Docker and Podman do coexist and can be used concurrently. A docker compatiblity layer (basically soft-linking docker to podman) removes the option to use both docker and podman.
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#logs would be another logical extension.
And https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/openshift_container_platform/4.13/html/cli_tools/openshift-cli-oc#oc-logs (which would be a very similar with kubectl vs oc as above for docker and podman)
And as this will never end, the -e option probably will be the go-to route?
Adding podman support seems reasonable.
And as this will never end, the -e option probably will be the go-to route?
The Custom URL feature is configurable, so folks can implement a URL scheme and publish it as a git repo that is installed by lnav -i. The -e option is good for one-offs or if the default behavior of the URL handler is not what is desired.
As to kubectl and oc I have started experimenting with https://github.com/shoffmeister/lnav-formats

@shoffmeister Sorry, I missed following up on this... were you able to get things working? Are there any changes that could be done to make developing/debugging the URL handlers easier?
