Describe how to use the image with podman

[przem123]

Any update on this? On Openshift 4.2 I have podman, not docker.

[mew2057]

If you're using Openshift 4.2, you should be able to just use the oc apply -f commands. The README calls out some kubectl commands, but they can easily be swapped for oc and since the images live in the quay.io repo podman should be served those images by Openshift.

It also looks like podman uses the same commands as docker:

I currently don't have a podman environment to test this, @vhu or @yadaven, do your environments use podman?

[przem123]

Yes, kubectl commands can be used with oc, but the problem is that the image is stored in docker registry only. You require docker for the command operator-sdk build csi-scale-operator I do not want to install and use it on my worker nodes at all.

Docker engine is not supported on Openshift 4. Please provide a way to use the operator with podman only.

Operator SDK has operator-sdk build --image-builder podman for podman builds

@vhu we may need to have a podman registry.

[smitaraut]

The images are available on quay registry and are pulled by the operator. You dont need to use podman or docker to use them. Please see install instructions here-
