Podman is a lightweight tool for running and managing OCI containers on Linux, without needing Docker or a persistent daemon process. It provides a Docker-compatible command line while focusing on security and being rootless by default.

Podman allows you to pull images from registries, run containers using commands like podman run, and manage pods of linked containers. It supports the same image formats as Docker but runs them without needing root privileges or a daemon taking up resources.

If you're familiar with Docker, you'll feel right at home with Podman since it uses the same commands. It's a great alternative for development, testing, and server workloads where you want the benefits of containers without Docker's daemon overhead. Podman makes it easy to work with containers on Linux in a more secure and efficient way.
