Podman–Pull images from Docker Hub

Docker Hub is a container registry provided by Docker, Inc. It serves as a central repository for finding and sharing container images.  Although it is not the only place where docker images can be found it remains a popular container registry where developers and open source contributors can store, discover, and distribute container images.

Pull through Docker Desktop

To pull an image through Docker Desktop, you can use the following command:

docker pull <image-name>

For example, if I want to fetch the masstransit/rabbitmq image, I should execute the following command:

docker pull masstransit/rabbitmq


Pull through Podman Desktop

What if I try to do the same thing through Podman Desktop:

podman pull masstransit/rabbitmq

This seems to work:

However it is important to understand what is going on. If you don’t specify a registry name like we did here it look through the list of unqualified-search-registries. This list can be found inside the podman-machine at /etc/containers/registries.conf which contains docker.io by default.

If you want to play safe, you can prefix the image name with the docker.io/ registry name:

podman pull docker.io/masstransit/rabbitmq

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
