I recently published a video covering an overview of Podman in Podman, or in other words, running a container within a container. This is a technology preview feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.3.
The video covers an overview of:
- From the RHEL 8.3 host, starting a container using the
registry.redhat.io/rhel8/podmancontainer image (with the--privilegedoption) - Within that container, building a new container image using
podman build - Running a container (while in a container) using the newly created container image (Podman in Podman)
Please note that Podman in Podman functionality is currently only available when starting the container as root.
