Podman for macOS

"Podman for macOS" is a macOS frontend for Podman. It can be used to start and stop both the Podman Machine and its running containers. In case a Podman Machine is not yet setup, the application can provision and start it automatically. Additionally, users may set it to automatically start and bring the machine up during login.

⚠️ Heads up! Support to Apple M1 is under development.

Installing

1. Install Podman through Homebrew:

   brew install podman
   

2. Download a Precompiled Binary, or clone this repo and build it.
3. Move the application to your Application's folder
4. Launch it.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Feel free to send a Pull-Request, or file an issue in case you run into any problem.

TODO

• Provide Notarized binaries
• Add support to Apple M1

Acknowledgements

• Thanks @ofeefo for tips regarding UI ♥️
• Thanks @RLMD for creating the Menu Bar icon ♥️

podman-macos's Issues

Support for catalina

Because of the use of some legacy HW components we are still at catalina, support for macos catalina would be awesome

Add MacPorts path

podman-macos cannot detect MacPorts' podman, as it's installed in /opt/local/bin.

This patch adds the MacPorts bin path:

diff --git a/Podman/Interop/PMManager.m b/Podman/Interop/PMManager.m

             return target;

Feature request: automatically starting pods on system startup

Hi,

Thanks for this neat interface!
It already allows to start up at system startup and also to start the podman VM, which is great. I'm wondering if it would be possible to also automatically start up the pods? (Or, in a more advanced scenario, a selection of them?)

Apple Silicon / darwin-arm64 / m1 Support

As noted in your readme it would be great to have Apple Silicon / M1 support.

I'd be happy to test it out if you have a build but not the hardware.

Any chance of supporting Mojave?

It looks as though you recently downgraded the deployment target to support macOS Catalina. Is there any chance you could downgrade it further to Mojave? Pretty please? :)

Pre-built binaries

This is a great initiative. Could you please provide/host pre-built binaries via the GitHub releases? Having these hooked into homebrew could be a bonus.

running on catalina after install: Error: error creating build container: short-name resolution enforced but cannot prompt without a TTY

I am running 'currentest' (as of this writing) and when I try to build I get the following error:

Error: error creating build container: short-name resolution enforced but cannot prompt without a TTY

command is:
podman build -t myfile:latest .

Reduce menu bar icon opacity when podman is stopped

Hey, I hope this project is still being maintained and worked on. One little addition I'd like to see is the menu bar icon to be greyed out when podman is stopped. That way, I could see the current status of podman without having to open the dropdown menu each time.

Pod selection issue

If i select a running container like this in the gui

Then right click another pod:

The action doesn't apply to the pod I right-clicked it applies to already selected, for example, if I click 'Delete' it'll delete 'redis1' instead of 'redis2'

Podman macOS doesn't find podman executable

I've installed Apple M1 patched podman using brew install simnalamburt/x/podman-apple-silicon

Unfortunately Podman macOS can't locate the podman executable:

Homebrew integration

Provide a way to install this tool with homebrew.
Either through a custom tap, or potentially upstreaming it into homebrew/core or homebrew/cask.
