One of the questions we in the Podman world often are asked is “Why can’t my container resolve other containers by name?” In many of the cases, the answer is … because you are running on a network with name resolution disabled. In fact, you are likely running on the *default* network; which indeed does…
We are pleased to announce a slew of new releases including Podman, Buildah, Netavark, and Aardvark-dns. Podman version 4.4 was released upstream this week. It brings a large variety of changes including bug fixes and features. Among those I find most exciting are the introduction of quadlet, the many changes around podman kube, and a…
@acui just cut a new upstream Podman release candidate for Podman v4.4. This release candidate includes updated RELEASE NOTES. Final release for Podman 4.4 is planned in the next two weeks time unless a major bug is uncovered. As always, feedback is welcome and file issues should you find some.
Today we released Podman 4.4. release candidate 2. We expect RC 3 to be cut later this week. Release candidate 3 will have release notes and will have vendored in all of our library dependencies. We are still planning 4.4 General Availability for the end of January.
Happy New Year from the Podman team! This year will begin with a change. Since the inception of Podman, it has used the Container Networking Interface (CNI) plugins as its core networking stack.

As 2022 comes to a close, I wanted to highlight the great progress that Podman has made over the last year. Almost 5 years after our first public release, Podman continues to grow at a rapid pace, with hundreds of new features added over the last year. Let’s go over some of the highlights and…
It has been reported by some users that the podman build command is sometimes slow when run on MacOS and Windows. This is due to the fact that when Podman is used on these operating systems, it actually utilizes a remote client that communicates with a Linux system through the podman REST API service to…
It is coming together nicely — Update When we released Podman 4, we also released a new “network stack” that in large part was provided by netavark. At that time, a couple of features were missing for us to achieve parity with the previous network stack based on CNI Plugins. One key missing feature was…
I have yet to bump into perfect software. Bugs, failures, and short-comings are the reality of software developers. They often have upsides whether it might be learning about a new area of code in a larger application or coming up with ideas to prevent problems. We had an interesting problem brought to our attention recently…
We are pleased to announce the release of aardvark-dns and netavark v1.4.0. It has not been that long since the respective v1.3.0 releases but we had new function we wanted to get out into the community. In the aardvark-dns release, the key new function was provided by commit 01a9f18f411b9766e6476fc53c395844aa3cb62e which is titled add support for…
