Release Details​

Port range mapping #3654​

When starting a new container, you can now map a port range between host and container. If the range is not valid between host and container, an error is raised.

When a terminal is opened for a container, it can now be reused after you switched to another part of the Podman Desktop UI.

Create volume #3742​

The Volumes tab now has a Create volume button. The Create volume UI has a single field for the volume name.

bash support #3750​

When a terminal is opened for a container, if bash is available within the container, it will be used. Otherwise, sh will be used.

Podman user-mode networking support to Windows/WSL #3251​

Certain VPN setups or other specialized networking configs will block traffic from the virtual WSL networking device, resulting in the podman WSL backend from being unable to contact systems on the VPN, and potentially losing internet access altogether. The new switch allows you to create a podman VM machine configured to work correctly in mentioned above networking environments.

Compose group Summary tab #3317,​

Compose group Summary tab shows all containers in the group and let you navigate to Details page for specific container.

Customize icons from extension #3131​

Extensions now can customize icons for list elements using when clause.

Resource details page update #1923​

If you click on the arrow icon next to a resource name it will open up a details page (similarly to how clicking on a container in the container list opens up a details page).

Node's container image field added to Create a Kind cluster form #3508​

The new Node's container image field can be used to specify the Kubernetes version used for the control-planed.

Support Docker Desktop extensions using a backend #3435​

Podman Desktop now loads the containers in the backend as described in the vm section of extension descriptor the same way as Docker Desktop does.

Initial onboarding implementation for podman (experimental) #3308​

Podman Desktop 1.2 Release! 🎉

We're excited to announce the release of Podman Desktop version 1.2.0! This release includes many new features (Kubernetes, Compose and extension support!), bug fixes, and improvements to enhance your container management experience. Here's a summary of the key changes in this release:

• Added start/stop/delete/restart buttons for Compose: You can now make changes to an entire Compose group of containers
• Kubernetes context on the status bar: Choose from multiple Kubernetes contexts more easily all from the status bar
• Rename images: Rename an image with a click of a button
• Protocol handler support: Added support for protocol handlers such as open podman-desktop:extension/redhat.openshift-local
• Troubleshooting page: A troubleshooting page for helping diagnose Podman Desktop related development issues

Podman Desktop 1.2 is now available. Click here to download it!

Release Details​

Added start/stop/delete/restart buttons for Compose​

In the last month we've been addind support for more Compose features. Before you were only able to control a group of containers if they were in a Pod. Now we have added the ability to control a group of Compose containers. You can now start, stop, delete and restart a group of containers launched by either docker-compose or podman-compose.

Stay tuned as we add even more features to Compose! If you have any feedback or feature requests, feel free to open an issue or start a discussion on GitHub.

Kubernetes context on the status bar​

With Kubernetes context on the status bar, you can switch from one context to another in just a couple of clicks. Easily switch to a different cluster all together. If there are multiple contexts available, you can now click and pick which one to use.

Rename images​

Deployed an image but now you need to rename it / add a new tag? Podman Desktop allows you to edit an image now. Thanks to an awesome contributor @tuckerrc who added the new feature.

Troubleshooting page​

Developing an extension for Podman Desktop? Want to view the logs of Podman Desktop as well as ping your container connection? We now have a troubleshooting page!

Click on the lightbulb button on the bottom right to access the page.

Protocol handler support​

Podman Desktop now supports protocol handling when using the terminal! Want to access your favourite extension directly from a script or the terminal? If you type in open podman-desktop:extension/redhat.openshift-local in the terminal, Podman Desktop will automatically load up to the correct extension.

We have been working on a Kind extension for a while now, and decided it is time to promote it into a release just in time for KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe!
