> I was looking at this just last night and the story with Ubuntu is horrible. That's essentially going to be stuck on v3.4 for ten years because it's "a lot of work" to get into that distribution.
They used to provide relatively recent builds in their kubic repos. Unfortunately, for some reason, they decided to discontinue it[0]. They mentioned some CVEs or something in some issues raised around this, but to me that means pushing a new version/build and not discontinuing it.
Anyway, one of the members of the Containers org provides unstable kubic repos[1][2] for non RH systems. Unfortunately, this includes RCs, and non-stable versions, which is fine to get bleeding edge, but I'd rather just have the stable versions.
Due to the above, I've written some scripts to build deb packages for all the latest stable versions. So hopefully you can simply download the deb from GH releases[3] and then `dpkg -i *.deb && apt-get install -f`.

You can use podman with buildkit, it's just kind of a pain because you have to do it manually. It is missing some nice to have feature integrations with buildkit though. The instructions are fairly clear: https://github.com/moby/buildkit
Red Hat has no official affiliation with Canonical who make Ubuntu.
If you want to test podman you 'll have better luck using an OS from the Fedora ecosystem where Red Hat has affiliations and is actively contributing.
Since you mentioned Windows I 'd suggest trying something like this [1] or this [2]

Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.

(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:

Could you file a bug to podman desktop https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/issues about your auth.json file / "podman login" ?
Podman is supported as a gitlab-runner now, as I understand it.

Darren here - PM for GitLab Runner. At this time, we aren't considering adding Podman to GitLab SaaS Runners on Linux. I created this issue, so please add comments there so we can continue the discussion.
