# Podman Usage Transfer

This document outlines useful information for ops and dev transfer as it relates to infrastructure that utilizes `Podman`.

## Operational Transfer

## Abstract

Podman is a tool for managing Pods, Containers, and Container Images.  The CLI
for Podman is based on the Docker CLI, although Podman does not require a
runtime daemon to be running in order to function.

## System Tools

Many traditional tools will still be useful, such as `pstree`, `nsenter` and `lsns`.
As well as some systemd helpers like `systemd-cgls` and `systemd-cgtop` are still just as applicable.

## Equivalents

For many troubleshooting and information collection steps, there may be an existing pattern.
Following provides equivalent with `Podman` tools for gathering information or jumping into containers, for operational use.

| Existing Step | `Podman` (and friends) |
| :--- | :--- |
| `docker run`  | [`podman run`](./docs/podman-run.1.md) |
| `docker exec` | [`podman exec`](./docs/podman-exec.1.md) |

| `docker stats`| [`podman stats`](./docs/podman-stats.1.md)|

## Missing commands in podman

Those Docker commands currently do not have equivalents in `podman`:

| Missing command | Description|
| :--- | :--- |
| `docker events`   ||
| `docker network`  ||
| `docker node`     ||
| `docker plugin`   |podman does not support plugins.  We recommend you use alternative OCI Runtimes or OCI Runtime Hooks to alter behavior of podman.|
| `docker rename`   | podman does not support rename, you need to use `podman rm` and  `podman create` to rename a container.|
| `docker secret`   ||
| `docker service`  ||
| `docker stack`    ||
| `docker swarm`    | podman does not support swarm.  We support Kubernetes for orchestration using [CRI-O](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cri-o).|
| `docker system`   ||
| `docker volume`   | podman does not support volumes.  Volumes should be built on the host operating system and then volume mounted into the containers.|

## Missing commands in Docker

The following podman commands do not have a Docker equivalent:

* [`podman mount`](./docs/podman-mount.1.md)
* [`podman umount`](./docs/podman-umount.1.md)
