podmanclispawner 0.3.0

PodmanCLISpawner for JupyterHub

podmanclispawner

JupyterHub Podman Spawner.

This is a fork of https://github.com/gatoniel/podmanspawner without the dependencies on local system users.

Overview

This is a simplified version of https://github.com/gatoniel/podmanspawner that runs Podman containers using the podman executable, but without tying the container to the local users.

For example, this means it can be used as a JupyterHub spawner for BinderHub, without the need for a daemon or privileged container engine.

Technical

subprocess is used to make calls to the Podman executable. See also this issue on dockerspawner.
