I'm excited to start my journey learning podman. I just created this blog to document my progress and share my discoveries with the developer community. I may make mistakes along the way, but I'm committed to updating this blog regularly as I learn.
Share your knowledge in the comments if you have learnt podman already.

Introduction
Podman is a container engine that provides a similar experience to Docker but offers several advantages, including:
- Podman can run without root privileges, enhancing security.
- Podman doesn't require a central daemon, making it more lightweight and easier to manage.
- Built-in support for pods: Podman natively supports pods, a grouping mechanism for containers.
Example dockerfile to create node server in a container
Dockerfile
FROM node:18-alpine
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install
COPY . .
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["npm", "start"]

Podman can also run without root privileges. Red hat is not affiliated with Oracle, it's an independent subsidiary of IBM.
Podman is licensed under an opensource license, the Apache-2.0 license.
