Podman
======
# Podman Role
This Ansible role installs and configures Podman container runtime, and provides comprehensive container, pod, network, and volume management capabilities.
**Bootstrap containerized applications with Podman in minutes.**
Requirements
------------
- Ansible 2.11 or higher
- Target systems: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+
- containers.podman collection (for container management tasks)
Role Variables
--------------
### Package Installation
* `podman_packages`: List of Podman packages to install (includes core and additional packages for Debian/Ubuntu)
### Configuration Variables
* `podman_configure_registries`: Configure container registries (default: `true`)
* `podman_registries_conf_path`: Path to registries configuration (default: `/etc/containers/registries.conf`)
* `podman_registries_additional`: Additional registry configurations for special cases
**Note**: Registry configuration is now unified with the image signature policy through `podman_policy_trusted_registries`. Each registry in the policy configuration includes both security settings (signature verification) and registry behavior (insecure, blocked, unqualified search).
* `podman_configure_storage`: Configure storage settings (default: `true`)
* `podman_storage_conf_path`: Path to storage configuration (default: `/etc/containers/storage.conf`)
* `podman_storage_driver`: Storage driver to use (default: `overlay`)
* `podman_storage_runroot`: Runtime storage path (default: `/run/containers/storage`)
* `podman_storage_graphroot`: Persistent storage path (default: `/var/lib/containers/storage`)
* `podman_configure_policy`: Configure container policy (default: `true`)
* `podman_policy_path`: Path to policy configuration (default: `/etc/containers/policy.json`)
### Image Signature Policy Variables
* `podman_policy_default_type`: Default policy for unlisted registries (`"insecureAcceptAnything"` or `"reject"`)
* `podman_policy_reject_unknown_registries`: Reject images from unlisted registries (default: `false`)
* `podman_policy_trusted_registries`: Unified registry configuration for both policy and registries.conf
Each registry in `podman_policy_trusted_registries` supports:
**Security Policy Options:**
- `type`: Verification type (`"insecureAcceptAnything"`, `"signedBy"`, `"reject"`)
- `keyPath`: Path to GPG key file (for `signedBy` type)
- `keyData`: Inline GPG key data (alternative to `keyPath`)
**Registry Configuration Options:**
- `insecure`: Allow insecure (HTTP) connections (default: `false`)
- `blocked`: Block access to this registry (default: `false`)
- `unqualified_search`: Include in unqualified image searches (default: `true`)
- `mirror`: List of mirror registries for redundancy/performance
## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Basic Setup
```yaml
# Unified registry and policy configuration
podman_policy_trusted_registries:
- registry: "docker.io"
# Policy settings
type: "insecureAcceptAnything"
# Registry settings
insecure: false
blocked: false
unqualified_search: true
- registry: "internal-registry.company.com"
# Policy settings
type: "signedBy"
keyPath: "/etc/pki/containers/company.gpg"
# Registry settings
insecure: false
blocked: false
unqualified_search: true
# Mirror configuration
mirror:
- location: "backup-registry.company.com"
insecure: false
# Development configuration (default)
podman_policy_default_type: "insecureAcceptAnything"
podman_policy_reject_unknown_registries: false
# Production configuration with signature verification
podman_policy_default_type: "reject"
podman_policy_reject_unknown_registries: true
- hosts: servers
roles:
- podman
```
### Service Variables
### 2. Run Your First Container
```yaml
- hosts: servers
roles:
- role: podman
vars:
podman_containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:latest
state: started
ports:
- "80:80"
```
* `podman_enable_socket`: Enable Podman socket service (default: `false`)
* `podman_enable_api_service`: Enable Podman API service (default: `false`)
### 3. Common Patterns
### Container Management Variables
**Web application with database:**
```yaml
podman_containers:
- name: webapp
image: myapp:latest
state: started
ports:
- "8080:8080"
env:
DATABASE_URL: "postgresql://postgres@db:5432/app"
- name: database
image: postgres:15
state: started
volumes:
- "db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data"
env:
POSTGRES_DB: app
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: secret
podman_volumes:
- name: db-data
```
**That's it!** Podman will be installed, configured, and your containers will be running with systemd services automatically created.

## 📋 Requirements
- **Ansible**: 2.11+
- **Target OS**: Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+
- **Collection**: `containers.podman` (auto-installed)

### Systemd Service Generation
The role can automatically generate systemd service files for containers and pods. This functionality helps in managing container lifecycle through systemd.
* `podman_generate_systemd`: Enable systemd service generation (default: `true`)
* `podman_systemd_dir`: Directory for generated service files (default: `/etc/systemd/system`)
**Global Systemd Options** (`podman_systemd_options`):
### Advanced Configuration
#### Registry & Security Policy
```yaml
# Basic registry setup (development)
podman_policy_default_type: "insecureAcceptAnything"
podman_policy_reject_unknown_registries: false
# Production security (with signatures)
podman_policy_default_type: "reject"
podman_policy_reject_unknown_registries: true
podman_policy_trusted_registries:
- registry: "docker.io"
type: "insecureAcceptAnything"
unqualified_search: true
- registry: "internal.company.com"
type: "signedBy"
keyPath: "/etc/pki/containers/company.gpg"
insecure: false
mirror:
- location: "backup.company.com"
```
#### Systemd Service Generation
```yaml
# Global systemd settings
podman_generate_systemd: true
podman_systemd_options:
new: true # Generate new service files
force: true # Overwrite existing files
restart_policy: always # Default restart policy
stop_timeout: 120 # Stop timeout in seconds
no_header: false # Include header in service files
wants: [] # Systemd unit Wants
after: [] # Systemd unit After
requires: [] # Systemd unit Requires
container_prefix: "container-" # Prefix for container service names
pod_prefix: "pod-" # Prefix for pod service names
restart_sec: 30 # Restart delay in seconds
```
**Per-Container/Pod Configuration:**
You can override global systemd options for individual containers or pods:
```yaml
podman_containers:
- name: webapp
image: nginx:latest
systemd:
restart_policy: always
stop_timeout: 120
after: ["network.target"]
wants: ["network-online.target"]
restart_sec: 10
podman_pods:
- name: database
systemd:
restart_policy: on-failure
requires: ["network.target"]
time: 180
container_prefix: "container-"
pod_prefix: "pod-"
```
When `systemd` is defined for a container or pod, the role will:
1. Generate a systemd service file
2. Place it in the specified directory
3. Reload systemd daemon
4. (Optional) Enable and start the service
**Note:** Container/pod-specific options take precedence over global options defined in `podman_systemd_options`.
### Resource Pruning
The role can automatically clean up unused Podman resources to free up disk space and maintain system hygiene.
* `podman_prune_enabled`: Enable automatic pruning of unused resources (default: `true`)
* `podman_prune_options`: Configuration for what should be pruned
#### Resource Cleanup
```yaml
# Auto-cleanup unused resources
podman_prune_enabled: true
podman_prune_options:
container: true # Remove stopped containers
image: true # Remove unused images
network: true # Remove unused networks
system: true # Prune all unused data
system_all: true # Prune all unused data including build cache
volume: true # Remove unused volumes
system: true # Full system cleanup
```
You can selectively disable certain types of pruning by setting their values to `false`:
#### Storage Configuration
```yaml
podman_prune_options:
container: true # Still remove containers
image: false # Keep all images
network: true # Remove unused networks
system: false # Keep system data
system_all: false # Keep build cache
volume: false # Keep all volumes
podman_configure_storage: true
podman_storage_driver: overlay
podman_storage_graphroot: /var/lib/containers/storage
podman_storage_runroot: /run/containers/storage
```
Dependencies
------------
* `containers.podman` collection for container management tasks
Example Playbook
----------------
#### API & Socket Services
```yaml
- hosts: servers
podman_enable_socket: true # Enable Podman socket
podman_enable_api_service: true # Enable REST API
```
