I’m very interested in a solution. Our current setup, where we use an external docker host for Testcontainers and Podman to build images is quite painful

Do you have a working snippet somewhere I could take a look at?

Doesn’t podman use buildah under the hood?

We are using the kubernetes executor. You can add additional sidecar services for your jobs, and we’re using that mechanic to run podman as a daemon. There are some gotchas I had to solve if I remember, but now it works nicely for us. Except for Testcontainers, which throws an exception when your Testcontainer is exposing ports

Yes but imo it’s easier and nicer to integrate Podman into an existing build, for example with maven

We are trying to use podman as a way to run Testcontainers and build images on a kubernetes cluster using Gitlab CI. Building works, but running Testcontainers doesn’t so far :(

That’s a bummer. We’re strictly regulated and stuff like this needs to be self hosted or we can’t use it
