Podman

The Podman provider communicates with the podman.sock socket to start and stop containers on demand.

Use the Podman provider

In order to use the docker provider you can configure the provider.name property.

File (YAML)

provider:
  name: podman

CLI

sablier start --provider.name=podman

Environment Variable

PROVIDER_NAME=podman

!> Ensure that Sablier has access to the podman socket!

services:
  sablier:
    image: sablierapp/sablier:1.10.5
    command:
      - start
      - --provider.name=podman
    volumes:
      - '/run/podman/podman.sock:/run/podman/podman.sock'

You have to register your containers by opting-in with labels.

services:
  whoami:
    image: acouvreur/whoami:v1.10.2
    labels:
      - sablier.enable=true
      - sablier.group=mygroup
