Podman for Ubuntu — APT Repository

Pre-built .deb packages for Podman and its dependencies on Debian (amd64 & arm64).

Choose a Track

stable

Podman 6.x, auto-updated with a soak window. Best for production and daily use.

v5

Podman 5.x maintenance line, auto-updated with a soak window. For hosts not yet ready for the Podman 6.0 breaking changes.

nightly

Built from upstream main branch HEAD daily. Bleeding-edge, may break.

Setup

Your Ubuntu version:

1. Import the signing key:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://slazarov.github.io/podman-ubuntu/podman-ubuntu.gpg \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/podman-ubuntu.gpg > /dev/null

2. Add the repository — pick your track:

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/podman-ubuntu.sources << 'EOF'
Types: deb
URIs: https://slazarov.github.io/podman-ubuntu
Suites: stable-2404
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/podman-ubuntu.gpg
EOF
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/podman-ubuntu.sources << 'EOF'
Types: deb
URIs: https://slazarov.github.io/podman-ubuntu
Suites: v5-2404
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/podman-ubuntu.gpg
EOF
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/podman-ubuntu.sources << 'EOF'
Types: deb
URIs: https://slazarov.github.io/podman-ubuntu
Suites: nightly-2404
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/podman-ubuntu.gpg
EOF

Note: The bare suite names stable and nightly are deprecated and will be removed in a future release (the v5 track is distro-qualified only — always use v5-2404 / v5-2604). see the migration guide →

3. Install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install podman-suite

podman-suite is a meta-package that installs Podman and all its dependencies (crun, conmon, netavark, aardvark-dns, pasta, buildah, skopeo, and more).
