Creation and Configuration of Containers

[SAMSCHUEY]

Good Morning,

Is there an easier method to create and configure containers in the same sense that configuration of network connections is easier utiling nmtui than nmcli?

Any assistance regarding this query would be greatly appreciated.

@SAMSCHUEY If you are looking for some GUI tool then "podman desktop" is a great one to start with.

You can get it here: https://podman-desktop.io/

Thank you very much Wasim.

Is there a similar tool that can be access via the command line and would the podman desktop GUI be accessible for the RHCSA EX200 exam?

[Wasim_Raja]

@SAMSCHUEY The best one for cli would also be "podman" and you can use the same podman cli in exam as well I am not sure if "podman desktop" is available in EX200, my recommendation would be to get familiar with podman cli.

I think what you’re looking for is a Container file. With a container file, you include all the steps to build your container, this can be done to make one from scratch, but my preferred method is to use “from” and a base image. If you don’t tie your base image to a specific tag, you can then use the container file to build updated images pulling newer base images, code, etc.
