Podman support #196

Open acxz opened 2 years ago

acxz commented 2 years ago

Just recently came across this repository and I am glad osrf is working on containers for ROS. I was wondering if podman support is included or planned?

There is no current plans for doing that. But a parallel entry point for running things via podman would be a welcome contribution if we can find useful ways to abstract the structure. And maybe have the plugins define and declare compatibility.

Related there's also singularity containers that if we're adding abstraction that will provide good validation of the abstraction.

Edit: also LXC could be a good extension too.
