Podman Compose
An implementation of Compose Spec with Podman backend. This project focus on:
- rootless
- daemon-less process model, we directly execute podman, no running daemon.
This project only depend on podman
and Python3 and PyYAML.
And it's formed as a single python file script that you can drop into your PATH and run.

Alternatives
As in this article you can setup a podman.socket
and use unmodified docker-compose
that talks to that socket but in this case you lose the process-model (ex. docker-compose build
will send a possibly large context tarball to the daemon)
For production-like single-machine containerized environment consider
For the real thing (multi-node clusters) check any production OpenShift/Kubernetes distribution like OKD.
Versions
If you have legacy version of podman
(before 3.x) you might need to stick with legacy podman-compose
0.1.x
branch.
The legacy branch 0.1.x uses mappings and workarounds to compensate for rootless limitations.
Modern podman versions (>=3.4) do not have those limitations and thus you can use latest and stable 1.x branch.
Installation
Install latest stable version from PyPI:
pip3 install podman-compose
pass --user
to install inside regular user home without being root.
Or latest development version from GitHub:
pip3 install https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/archive/devel.tar.gz
or
curl -o /usr/local/bin/podman-compose https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containers/podman-compose/devel/podman_compose.py
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/podman-compose
or inside your home
curl -o ~/.local/bin/podman-compose https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containers/podman-compose/devel/podman_compose.py
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/podman-compose
or install from Fedora (starting from f31) repositories:
sudo dnf install podman-compose
Basic Usage
We have included fully functional sample stacks inside examples/
directory.
A quick example would be
cd examples/busybox
podman-compose --help
podman-compose up --help
podman-compose up
A more rich example can be found in examples/awx3 which have
- A Postgres Database
- RabbitMQ server
- MemCached server
- a django web server
- a django tasks
When testing the AWX3
example, if you got errors just wait for db migrations to end.
Tests
Inside tests/
directory we have many useless docker-compose stacks
that are meant to test as much cases as we can to make sure we are compatible
