Podman CLI

Podman · Podman.CLI

A daemonless container engine for developing, managing, and running OCI Containers

Podman is a daemonless, open source, Linux native tool designed to make it easy to find, run, build, share and deploy applications using Open Containers Initiative (OCI) Containers and Container Images. Podman provides a command line interface (CLI) familiar to anyone who has used the Docker Container Engine. Most users can simply alias Docker to Podman (alias docker=podman) without any problems. Similar to other common Container Engines (Docker, CRI-O, containerd), Podman relies on an OCI compliant Container Runtime (runc, crun, runv, etc) to interface with the operating system and create the running containers. This makes the running containers created by Podman nearly indistinguishable from those created by any other common container engine.

Release Notes

Security

  • This release addresses CVE-2026-33414, where the podman machine init --image command when run on Windows using the Hyper-V backend can run Powershell-escaped commands from the user-specified image path on in a Powershell session on the host (GHSA-hc8w-h2mf-hp59). Bugfixes
  • Fixed a bug where containers with the unless-stopped restart policy would not restart after a reboot when podman-restart.service was enabled (#28152).
  • Fixed a bug where setting Entrypoint="" in a Quadlet .container file did not clear the container's entrypoint (#28213).
  • Fixed a bug where setting a HealthCmd in a Quadlet .container file to a command that included double-quotes (") would result in a nonfunctional healthcheck due to a parsing issue (#28409).
  • Fixed a bug where FreeBSD systems could panic when inspecting containers created with the host network mode (#28289). API
  • Fixed a bug where the Libpod System Check endpoint could perform operations with bad data after returning a 400 error (#28350).
  • Fixed a bug where the remote attach API for containers (Libpod & Compat) could panic due to a rare race condition (#28277).
  • Fixed a bug where the Secret Create API could not create functional secrets using the shell driver due to options from the default driver being improperly added. Misc
  • Updated Buildah to v1.43.1
  • Updated the containers/common library to v0.67.1
  • Updated the containers/image library to v5.39.2
