Been using and happy with Podman Desktop for a while now on Mac
- betaby 2y agoPodman Desktop on Mac uses weird user-pace IP stack which does direct socket allocations on the MAcOS host itself. Additionally, Podman Desktop on Mac always return on ICMP echo, try running `ping 5.5.5.5` or any other non-ping-able IP and see it yourself.
- rgovostes 2y agoCan you elaborate on the direct socket allocations?
- betaby 2y agoYou can see `tcp` sessions of the container using `netstat` on the host MacOS if you use Podman Desktop. That's not the case if podman runs on a Linux VM on UTM for example. Additionally, ICMP behaves correctly in the later case.
