Description
Sysbox should support Podman.
Podman is a RedHat's default container-management tool. Podman is specially useful in development phases as it can simply launch containers (through a docker-like cli interface), and it can easily convert container-definition files into K8 yaml recipes, which is quite handy to quickly test new PODs within a K8 cluster. In addition, Podman supports per-container user-namespace UID mappings, which gels wells with Sysbox.
Scott McCarthy and Giuseppe Scrivano from RedHat suggested that we consider:
-
Using Podman to deploy system containers with Sysbox.
-
Enabling system containers to run Podman inside.

Begin by locating the repository's container-runtime and Kubernetes integration code, then review how system containers are deployed and how nested container runtimes are supported. Done means both proposed Podman uses are supported and covered by suitable tests.
