How to install podman-compose in an air-gapped network?

You can simply copy podman_compose.py file and call it directly. You will need pyyaml and dotnev installed. On Debian-based distributions these are in python3-dotnev and python3-yaml packages.

By the way, podman compose will just call docker-compose or podman-compose, whichever is installed. So if you choose podman-compose it still needs to be installed.

@DaleBinghamSoteriaSoft You might want to download and install .whl files (wheels, ie. binary distributions) from PyPI then:

• https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/#files
• https://pypi.org/project/podman-compose/#files
• IIRC PyYAML is already included in not-the-absolute-smallest package selection of RHEL as package python3-pyyaml

Installing these by hand would be more or less equivalent to using the pip install method.

You can download the tarball

curl -sSLO https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/archive/main.tar.gz

You can pick any version or tag instead of main.

pip3 install file.tar.gz

But as others said it's a single file script you can just put the file in bin and chmod +x

Ok thank you @p12tic this is on REL 8.x box but air-gapped.

So either do the podman_compose.py with the extra packages. OR install the docker-compose binary and then call podman compose.

We have pulled the latest from the RPM but 8.8 only pulls podman 4.6.1 I believe currently. We have to try podman 5 as well.

We will try this and see what we get. I appreciate it.

Thank you both for that information. I will try those.
