Today I tried to get away from Docker Desktop and wanted to use Podman instead.
The installation went pretty fine and I wanted to share how I integrated Visual Studio and VSCode.
Install Podman
You should install Podman via winget these days:
“winget install RedHat.Podman-Desktop”
Now you just need to follow the installation wizard with default settings.
Start Podman Desktop
Follow the instructions under “Set up”.
The wizard will install will guide you through the installation and install podmans cli into your WSL.
It will also create a “podman machine” with default settings, you don’t need to configure anything.
Creating the podman machine could take a while.
Install Docker.DockerCLI
To get Podman integrated into Visual Studio install the DockerCLI
“winget install Docker.DockerCLI”
and now your Visual Studio works with podman.
More Ressources:
But to be honest the official docs are pretty good: Windows | Podman Desktop (podman-desktop.io)
If you need some docs for the podman machine: Creating a Podman machine | Podman Desktop (podman-desktop.io)
