podman

Version 2026.148.1730
Repo box/cachyos

Rootful podman container engine for a VM guest Installs podman + crun + netavark so a VM guest can run containers (e.g. a CUDA container via CDI with --device nvidia.com/gpu=all). Minimal on purpose — unlike container-nesting (rootless nested podman), a VM guest runs podman as root directly. Verifiable: the podman binary lands at /usr/bin/podman and reports its version.

This candy’s plan: — the runnable spec charly check executes against a live deployment. check: steps are idempotent probes; run: steps change state.

Intent Step
check the podman binary is installed at /usr/bin/podman
check podman reports its version
check file=/usr/bin/podman
