Podman (the Pod Manager) is a tool for managing, developing, and running OCI images on Linux systems. It is daemonless, which makes it more accessible and less vulnerable to security breaches than other clients.

You can configure Podman using two methods: using the podman login command, or manually updating your ~/.docker/config.json file.

To configure Podman clients to work with Artifactory using the podman login command:

  1. Login using the following Podman command:

    Note

    Make sure to replace the placeholder in bold with your own JFrog host domain.

    podman login <YOUR_JFROG_DOMAIN>

    For example:

    podman login my-awesome.jfrog.io

  2. (Optional) Provide your Artifactory username and password or Identity Token. If anonymous access is enabled, you do not need to log in.Generate Identity Token

To manually set your credentials, copy the following snippet to your ~/.docker/config.json file.

Note

Make sure to replace the placeholders in bold with your own JFrog host domain, token, and email address.

{
	"auths": {
		"<YOUR_JFROG_DOMAIN>" : {
			"auth": "<Token>",
			"email": "<Email>"
		}
	}
}

For example:

{
	"auths": {
		"jfrog.org/artifactory" : {
			"auth": "RANDOM_TOKEN_YWRtaW46QVBBVWJjTExkZTU4WT",
			"email": "johnfrog@email.com"
		}
	}
}
