Installing Podman for managing containers and running container with dynamic DNS client for Cloudflare
Introduction
Podman is a Docker alternative with distinction that it is a daemonless container engine and containers created with Podman can be run by regular users without root privileges. This enhances security because if a process escapes container, it won't run on the host with root privileges but with user privileges running the container. If it's so secure, why is Docker still popular? The answer is that the daemonless architecture of Podman makes it more complex to manage, especially set up containers to run with every system start. Also there is less documentation available for Podman compared to Docker, so this post will try to summarize how to create functioning Podman host.
