  • How to run an Nginx container with socket activation and rootless Podman? (I only got it working with a simplified Nginx container image)
    4 projects | /r/selfhosted | 31 Aug 2022
    Socket activation should be the fastest alternative as then there is no need to process and interpret the network traffic that is sent over the socket. Both slirp4netns and netavark process the traffic. If I understand correctly the network driver bypass4netns could have similar performance as socket activation. The current bypass4netns implementation has some security problems but it seems that could be fixed.
  • Podman 4.2.0

    (That could a be cool feature)

    Also interesting would be to fix the security considerations of using bypass4netns:

    "However, it is probably possible to connect to host loopback IPs by exploiting TOCTOU of struct sockaddr * pointers."

    There seems to be an implementation idea for how the problem could be fixed:

  • Minikube now supports rootless podman driver for running Kubernetes
    11 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Jun 2022
    The filesystem performance degradation was resolved in kernel 5.11 which added support for rootless overlayfs.

    The network performance is caused by slirp (usermode TCP/IP) but it is being resolved too : https://github.com/rootless-containers/bypass4netns
