In the coming months, the Podman container runtime will be upgraded
from v3 to v4. This is a major release that introduces backward incompatible changes to configuration files and APIs.
The full release notes for Podman v4 are available here. Here is a brief summary of how this will impact Fedora CoreOS nodes:
- Existing containers will be preserved without any change required.
- Compatibility for the Docker API is fully preserved.
- Users of the Podman remote API will need matching server/client versions.
- Rollbacks to a version with Podman v3.x will require manual action.
- Only new installations will use the new network stack by default.
For more details, see the Major Changes page in the Fedora CoreOS
documentation.
