Run containerized, rootless applications with podman

Overview

Why?

  • restrict scope of file system access
  • run any application without root privileges
  • creates usable "Desktop applications" to integrate into your normal workflow
  • cut network access for applications that work with confidential stuff to prevent accidental leakage
  • set MEM and CPU boundaries for your applications
  • easy rollback with version pinning
  • works on wayland
  • gameplayerspecial

Usage

capps.py [-h] [-a app1 app2 ... [app1 app2 ... ...]] [-c /path/to/config.yaml] [-b] [-r] [-i] [-v] [-s] [-d] [-l]

Start podman container apps.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a app1 app2 ... [app1 app2 ... ...], --application-list app1 app2 ... [app1 app2 ... ...]
                        List of applications to run as defined in config file
  -c /path/to/config.yaml, --config /path/to/config.yaml
                        Path to config file (defaults to config.yaml)
  -b, --build           (re)build list of provided apps
  -r, --run             run containers of all provided apps (default)
  -i, --install         install as desktop application
  -v, --verbose         enable verbose log output
  -s, --stats           enable stats output
  -d, --debug           enable debug log output
  -l, --list            print available container
