Overview

podman-tui is a terminal user interface for podman environment. It is using podman go bindings to communicate with local or remote podman machine (through SSH).

Compatibility matrix

Terminal User Interface Podman
release-2.x v6.x.y
release-1.x v5.x.y
release-0.x v4.x.y

Installation

Building from source (Linux, Windows and MacOS) or installing packaged versions are detailed in install guide.

PreRun Checks

  • podman.socket service needs to be running on podman machine. The recommended way to start Podman system service in production mode is via systemd socket-activation:

    bash
    $ systemctl --user start podman.socket

    For non-systemd distributions, the socket can be created using the below command. Add this command to your distro or window manager’s autostart to start the service automatically.

    bash
    $ podman system service --time=0

    Note: This command creates the socket only for the user who runs it.

    See start podman system service for more details.

  • If the SSH key has a passphrase, then you need to set and export CONTAINER_PASSPHRASE= variable.

    bash
    $ export CONTAINER_PASSPHRASE=keypass
  • podman-tui uses 256 colors terminal mode on Nix system and standard ANSI colors on Windows system (use "command prompt" application).
