add container to pod¶

e.g. wordpress

sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_db
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_db/var
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_db/var/lib
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_db/var/lib/mysql
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_wp
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_wp/var
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_wp/var/www
sudo mkdir /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_wp/var/www/html

sudo podman run -d --restart=always --pod=app-example -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="root" -e MYSQL_DATABASE="wordpress" -e MYSQL_USER="wpuser" -e MYSQL_PASSWORD="password" -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_db/var/lib/mysql:/var/lib/mysql:Z --name=app-example-db mariadb
sudo podman run -d --restart=always --pod=app-example -e WORDPRESS_DB_NAME="wordpress" -e WORDPRESS_DB_USER="wpuser" -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD="password" -e WORDPRESS_DB_HOST="127.0.0.1" -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /opt/podman.pod/app-example/c_wp/var/www/html:/var/www/html:Z --name app-example-wp wordpress

create systemd-unit files¶

cd /opt/podman.pod/app-example
sudo podman generate systemd --files --name app-example
sudo cp pod-*.service /etc/systemd/system/.
sudo cp container-*.service /etc/systemd/system/.

podman-compose -f ~/compose.user/nextcloud.user/compose.yml up

shell-access to inside container¶

podman exec -it -u root nc_example.com-nc /bin/sh

administration¶

list (dangling) images¶

podman images
podman images -f dangling=true

remove dangling images¶

best is to make sure that all containers needed are up and running before removing dangling containers

podman system prune
