Podman system connection add $INSTANCE_NAME -identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa system connection add $INSTANCE_NAME -identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa List of volume mounts that Docker for Desktop also mounts per default. IP=$(multipass info $INSTANCE_NAME | grep IPv4: | cut -d ':' -f2 | tr -ds ' ' '') Multipass exec $INSTANCE_NAME - /home/ubuntu/setup-podman.sh Multipass launch -c 4 -m 8G -d 32G -n $INSTANCE_NAME -cloud-init user-data 20.04 Multipass set client.primary-name=$INSTANCE_NAME Last step is running the create.sh script. Depending on the parameter you provide when running the install.sh script you interact in root or rootless mode with Podman. Podman gets configured to be accessible in root and rootless mode. The user-data file is a cloud-init file which configures our Ubuntu VM we spin up with Multipass on our Mac.Īs seen above a setup script for installing Podman in the Ubuntu VM is placed in the user’s home folder. sudo cp /etc/skel/.profile /home/ubuntu/.profile sudo cp /etc/skel/.bash_logout /home/ubuntu/.bash_logout sudo cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /home/ubuntu/.bashrc Systemctl -user enable -now podman.socket Sudo systemctl -system enable -now podman.socket Sudo cp /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
#Multipass mount install
Sudo apt install podman fuse-overlayfs -y # Set correct permission on own home folderĮcho "deb $/Release.key | sudo apt-key add. Next step is your SSH public key which is added to the end of the user-data file. So, the docker alias will not work in that case but the symlink does. The command checks for the docker binary executable and fails if it cannot find it on the system. The symlink is a hard requirement when you are working with the Azure Container Registry and using the command az acr login. Instead of only using docker as an alias for podman, as recommended in most articles throughout the web, I am creating a symlink too. Ln -s /usr/local/bin/podman /usr/local/bin/docker || true # Symlink as otherwise `az acr login` does not work. I have written an install script which installs both tools via brew in the first step. Both tools can be installed easily via brew. You need two tools installed on your Mac. Let us start with the prerequisites for it. This was my little side project I worked on several months ago.
#Multipass mount how to
In today’s blog post I walk you through how to run Podman on macOS with Multipass as an alternative for Docker for Desktop. Looking at alternatives for Docker for Desktop, Podman will be definitely the container engine that gets most of the attention right now.
#Multipass mount for free
But for companies which have been using Docker for Desktop for free and not using Docker Hub as their primary container registry things have changed since yesterday. Since the announcement that Docker made yesterday on what has changed in the Docker Subscription Service Agreement my side project got my attention again.įor most of us nothing will change as Docker for Desktop stays free for personal use. Several months ago, I worked on a little side project during my spare time but instead of writing a blog post I set it aside till today.
