Installing developer toolkit using Podman on CentOS

You can install the developer toolkit by using Podman on CentOS.

Note: The developer toolkit setup using Podman is only supported for users with root privileges.

Procedure

  1. Install Podman. For more information, see Podman documentation.
  2. Install the Docker Compose version 2.x that is tested with 2.23.0 and 2.24 versions. For more information about installing Docker Compose, see Overview of Docker Compose and Install Docker Compose.
  3. Export Docker by running the following command: 
    export DOCKER_HOST='unix:///run/podman/podman.sock'
  4. Stop or disable any native DB2®, WebSphere Application Server, Liberty, or IBM MQ application services that are running locally. These services might unnecessarily use system resources, and the port numbers might conflict with the Docker Compose environment.
  5. On the host server, add mqserver as a localhost in your /etc/hosts file.
