⚠ Potential breaking changes
Breaking Changes
Due to breaking changes in this release, Podman v6.0.0 must be used with Buildah v1.44.0, Skopeo v1.23, Netavark and Aardvark v2.0.0, and configuration files from the container-libs repository's common/v0.68.0 release.
Support for BoltDB databases has been dropped. Starting Podman 6 when the BoltDB database is in use will have Podman attempt an automatic migration from BoltDB to SQLite.
Support for running on Intel Macs has been removed.
Support for running on Windows 10 has been removed.
Support for running on cgroups v1 systems has been removed. Please update your system to use cgroups v2.
Support for running on iptables has been removed. Please use nftables instead.
Support for CNI networking has been removed. Please use Netavark instead.
Support for the slirp4netns rootless network stack has been removed. Please use Pasta instead. As part of this, the `--network-cmd-path` global option, only used with `slirp4netns`, has been removed.
The `--all-providers` option to `podman machine list` has been removed, as machines from all providers can now be accessed by all commands.
