podman

xsrv.podman

This role will install podman, an OCI container engine and management tools. Podman can be used as a replacement for Docker.

Requirements/dependencies/example playbook

See meta/main.yml

# playbook.yml
- hosts: my.CHANGEME.org
  roles:
    - nodiscc.xsrv.monitoring # (optional) server/container health and performance monitoring
    - nodiscc.xsrv.podman

# required variables
# none

See defaults/main.yml for all configuration variables.

Note: the podman role will ask you to first uninstall the docker role if it is deployed to the host.

Usage

Podman can be used as a base component to deploy other/services and applications. The gitea_act_runner role uses podman to manage containers in which workflows are run. You can also use it directly from the podman command-line tools.

Uninstallation

TAGS=utils-podman-uninstall xsrv deploy

Backups

There is no data worth backing up. Applications/services/roles using podman to store data should manage their own backups.
