Hi folks,

Some work has been done to replace Paunch and use the new "podman_container" Ansible module; It's possible thanks to a role that is now documented here:

While some efforts are still ongoing to replace container-puppet.py (which uses Paunch to execute a podman run); the tripleo-container-manage role has reached stability and enough maturity to be the default now.

I would like to give it a try and for that I have 2 patches that would need to be landed:

The most popular question that has been asked about $topic so far is: how can I run paunch debug to print the podman commands.

Answer: https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-ansible/latest/roles/role-tripleo-container-manage.html#check-mode

Please raise any concern here and we'll address it.

Hopefully we can make the default on time before U cycle ends.

On a side note: I prepared all the backports to stable/train so the feature will be available in that branch as well.

Thanks,

--
