history
Project history and usage
Podman TUI is an interactive terminal interface for managing local or remote Podman environments.
Project history
Podman TUI was developed in Go as a terminal interface for local and remote Podman environments. It uses Podman's Go bindings and can communicate with a Podman machine over SSH.
The project expanded from basic resource inspection into management screens for system information, pods, containers, volumes, images, networks, and secrets, with compatibility lines corresponding to Podman major releases.
Adoption history
Podman TUI fills a focused niche for terminal users who want an interactive view of Podman without launching a graphical desktop application. Official installation instructions cover numerous Linux distributions, Homebrew and Nix on macOS, and WinGet on Windows.
How it is used
Users start Podman's service socket, launch podman-tui, and navigate keyboard-driven screens for system information, pods, containers, volumes, images, networks, and secrets. Remote connections can be defined in podman-tui.json or obtained from Podman's connection configuration.
Why package nerds care
The project offers a keyboard-driven dashboard suitable for servers, remote development machines, and SSH sessions while relying on Podman's documented service and connection model.
Timeline
- Early development: Podman TUI established a terminal dashboard using Podman's Go bindings.
- Later development: The interface added broader resource-management screens and remote Podman-machine support.
- Cross-platform packaging: Official instructions document Linux, macOS, and Windows installation paths.
Related projects
- Podman supplies the API, resources, service socket, and remote connections managed by the interface. Podman Desktop provides a graphical alternative for desktop users.
