Chapter 4: Managing Running Containers
In the previous chapter, we learned how to set up the environment to run containers with Podman, covering binary installation for the major distributions, system configuration files, and a first example container run to verify that our setup was correct. This chapter will offer a more detailed overview of container execution, how to manage and inspect running containers, and how to group containers in pods. This chapter is important for gaining the right knowledge and expertise to start our experience as a system administrator for container technologies.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Managing container images
- Operations with running containers
- Inspecting container information
- Capturing logs from containers
- Executing processes in a running container
- Running containers in pods
