Is your image layer creation in Podman a little slower than you would like? New improvements are coming in Podman v5.8 due early next year. Check out Paul Holzinger's post showing the improvements you can expect! 🔥https://blog.podman.io/2025/12/accelerating-parallel-layer-creation #Podman #OpenSource

I'm trying to understand the finer details of building #container images for my #Python applications. My preffered way of building applications now is with `COPY . /app` followed by `pip install /app`, and I just realised that I can use `RUN --mount=type=bind,source=src,target=/app pip install /app` instead. Are there good reasons to not do this?
With all the holiday goings on, don't forget the Podman Community meeting tomorrow, Dec 2, 2025, at 11:00am EST (UTC-5)! We'll have a 2025 retro, talk about immutable GitHub releases, Materia, and probably more! Hope to see you there! https://hackmd.io/fc1zraYdS0-klJ2KJcfC7w #podman #OpenSource
If you want to build production level container deployment without @kubernetesio, Quadlets might be the answer! Check out this blog from

Giving a (rootful) Podman container its own IP.

THE PROBLEM:
#Podman is using the #VFS storage driver which is basically copying entire filesystems for every layer.
nginx-proxy-manager image probably expanded from 1.13GB to 15-20GB+ because VFS makes full copies instead of using efficient layers.
This begs the question.
ARE ANY OF YOU WALLIES ACTUALLY USING PODMAN IN PRODUCTION?
WTF?
