How to install podman by itself binares ?

[oldthreefeng]

Is there any official binaries registry for podman?

Install instructions can be found here: https://podman.io/getting-started/installation

What he means is to directly copy the relevant binary files for installation without the system's own package management

It's very difficult to install Podman proper without packages due to the number of binaries involved - Podman, Conmon, the CNI plugins (for root), slirp4netns and fuse-overlayfs (rootless) would be the minimum install.

[oldthreefeng]

nothing is difficult if you have a great makefile !

Don't forget runc/crun for an oci runtime.

Sure if you want to suck out about 7 different git repositories and build all of these different tools, then create config for the tool, which usually comes from containers-common.

maybe useful from #8788

This is what cri-o is doing at the moment.

@afbjorklund great job!!

[afbjorklund]

great job!!

I'm not super-convinced myself that fully static binaries is the way to go, just pointing out that there are already the Nix binaries...

It also lacks documentation, on how to install and use these static binaries ? I don't think CRI-O is doing a great job of that, either.

Personally, I prefer "sudo yum install podman".

But static binaries comes in handy too, sometimes.

i'd like to offline install podman, but it's impossible if i have no apt or yum repo

You can build it locally.
