In computing, Podman (pod manager) is an open source Open Container Initiative (OCI)-compliant[2] container management tool from Red Hat used for handling containers, images, volumes, and pods on the Linux operating system,[3] with support for Mac OS and Microsoft Windows via a virtual machine.[4] Based on the libpod library, it offers APIs for the lifecycle management of containers, pods, images, and volumes. The API is identical to the Docker API.[5] Podman Desktop provides an alternative to Docker Desktop.[6]
