Setting up Podman on WSL2 (Debian 10/buster) in Windows 10

podmanOnDebianWSL.md

• Load OS related variables into shell:
  

  . /etc/os-release
  

• Add repo:
  

  sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/Debian_${VERSION_ID}/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable.list"
  

• Add apt key:
  

  curl -L https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/Debian_${VERSION_ID}/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -
  

• Run:
  

  sudo apt update
  

• Install Podman:
  

  sudo apt install podman
  

• After running the above, you should have a base Podman installation. You can check this by running:
  

  podman info
  

• To solve this error:
  
  

  unable to write pod event: "write unixgram @00013->/run/systemd/journal/socket: sendmsg: no such file or directory"
  

  Edit /etc/containers/containers.conf by:

  sudo nano /etc/containers/containers.conf
  

  and change events_logger
  from:

  events_logger = "journald"
  

  to:

  events_logger = "file"
  

• To test :

  podman run --name nginx -p 8080:80 -d nginx:alpine
  

  now browse http://localhost:8080/ on your windows host.
