Podman Desktop Overview
Podman Desktop is a free, open-source graphical application for working with containers and Kubernetes, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It manages Podman — a daemonless, rootless-capable container engine — and provides a dashboard to build images, run and inspect containers and pods, and connect to Kubernetes clusters. Because its command set is largely compatible with Docker, many Docker workflows and Compose files carry over, and it can work alongside or as an alternative to Docker tooling. The daemonless, rootless design appeals to security-conscious environments. The offline installer installs without a network connection, though images are pulled separately. It can run multiple container engines side by side and adds extensions for tasks like building images with Buildah. This page links straight to Red Hat's official Podman Desktop source.
