Jack Wallen has a blog post on the THENEWSTACK site with a great introduction on how to Deploy a Pod on CentOS with Podman. In the post, Jack talks about how Podman fits in the Red Hat ecosystem and then walks you through the fundamentals of creating and running a pod using Podman.
Brent Baude has another blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site this time it's all about How to run Podman on Windows with WSL2. If you want to know how to run Podman on Windows 10, this article will show you how.
If you follow the traffic on IRC (#podman on libera.chat) or GitHub from the developers of libpod, you might have seen us referencing a new API. We often referred to it as apiv2 and for about a month, there has been an 'apiv2' branch for libpod on GitHub. This week, we have begun to merge that branch but have yet to “wire it up.”
First and foremost, the Golang libpod API remains largely unchanged. What is changing is the API we expose for automation and remote usage. Our previous API was based on the varlink protocol. But we heard from users that varlink was a hurdle for libpod adoption especially for those who were using the Docker API and its bindings. They simply could not or did not want to rewrite their custom applications for libpod’s new, varlink-based API.
Podman version 1.7 is coming out soon and will include new features that will make management of containers with systemd services even easier. Valentin Rothberg has a blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site that previews the features: Running containers with Podman and shareable systemd services. In the post Valentin goes over the highlights and then gives a great working example.
Dan Walsh has another blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site this time about Rootless Podman and NFS. In the post Dan talks about how you can make some minor configuration changes to allow Podman to use a user's home directory on an NFS share. Give it a read!

Dan Walsh has another blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site this time about Fedora 31 and Control Group v2. In the post Dan talks about the new version of control groups that is part of the Fedora 31 release and how it makes containers even more secure.
Scott McCarty (@fatherlinux) has an amazing video on YouTube about Building freely distributed containers with open tools. As only Scott could say "Although explaining how to ride a Tron-style light cycle is beyond the scope of this tutorial, we will discuss something almost as exhilarating—building containers with #Podman and #RedHat Universal Base Image (UBI). We will cover how to build and run #containers based on #UBI using just your regular user account—no daemon, no root (rootless), no fuss. Finally, we will order the deresolution of all of our containers with a really cool command. You probably won’t be promoted to CEO of ENCOM after this talk, but you will have new tools in your toolbelt for how to find, run, build, and share container images."
Brent Baude has another blog post on the Red Hat Enable Sysadmin site this time about Basic security principles for containers and container runtimes. In the post Brent talks about the three core security themes concerning containers and why user privileges matter in the space.
