Documented steps

  1. Create an empty pod: `podman pod create --name mypod` (an infra container is created by default to hold the shared namespaces).
  2. Add containers that join the pod: `podman create --pod mypod <image> <cmd>`.
  3. Start the whole pod together: `podman pod start mypod`; manage with `podman pod ps`.
  4. Publish ports at pod creation time with -p/--publish so host ports map to the pod.
  5. Optionally constrain CPU/memory at pod level with --cpus/--memory; individual containers inherit the pod cgroup parent.
