Overview

{{% pageinfo %}} This driver is experimental and in active development. Help wanted! {{% /pageinfo %}}

The podman driver is an alternative container runtime to the [Docker]({{< ref "/docs/drivers/docker.md" >}}) driver.

Requirements

• Linux or macOS operating systems on amd64 architecture
• Install podman

{{% readfile file="/docs/drivers/includes/podman_usage.inc" %}}

Known Issues

• Podman driver is not supported on non-amd64 architectures such as arm yet. For non-amd64 archs please use [other drivers]({{< ref "/docs/drivers/_index.md" >}})
• Podman v2 driver is not supported yet.
• Podman requirements passwordless running of sudo. If you run into an error about sudo, do the following:

$ sudo visudo

Then append the following to the section at the very bottom of the file where username is your user account.

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/podman

Be sure this text is after #includedir /etc/sudoers.d. To confirm it worked, try:

sudo -k -n podman version

Troubleshooting

• Run minikube start --alsologtostderr -v=7 to debug errors and crashes
