- Package #9-11: catatonit (pod infra init), nftables (netavark firewall backend), docker-compose (external compose provider for `podman compose`) — all vendored prebuilt binaries, versions.env pinned, propagated through build-packages.sh/release.sh/podman.plg/verify+update-packages.sh. - Fix WebUI: every POST action was silently failing (empty response body) because Unraid's own CSRF protection was never satisfied — app.js now sends the page's csrf_token as X-CSRF-Token. - Fix WebUI: PodmanClient::pullImage() assumed a single JSON response, but /images/pull actually streams newline-delimited JSON — every successful pull was throwing "Expected a JSON object/array response". - Fix WebUI: compose.php's up/down status detection had the same single-JSON-vs-NDJSON bug for `podman compose ps`, plus stderr was corrupting the parse. - Add cache-busting (?v=<mtime>) to Podman.page's script/style tags so a redeployed JS/CSS fix isn't served stale from browser cache. - Add a reusable modal dialog (app.js openFormModal) replacing prompt()/alert() for New Volume/Network/Pull Image. - Add host-path (bind-mount) support when creating a named volume. - Add Create Container (image, name, network mode incl. custom networks, ports, volumes, env, restart policy, privileged, start-after-create), auto-pulling the image on first use since /containers/create doesn't. All fixes verified live against a real podman system service and, where reachable, via the actual WebUI over the real socket — not just unit-level.

unraid-podman
A native Unraid plugin that integrates Podman as a first-class container engine, running alongside Docker.
Status: architecture / scaffolding stage. No functional code has been shipped yet. This repository currently defines the target structure and design; see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full technical plan and docs/ROADMAP.md for what's coming.
Goals
- Run rootful Podman on Unraid with full persistence across reboots (config, images, containers, volumes, networks) despite Unraid's RAM-root design.
- Coexist cleanly with Docker — no shared storage, network, or firewall conflicts.
- Follow Unraid's native conventions:
.plginstallation, Slackware.txzpackages, BSD-stylerc.dinit scripts (no systemd), config on/boot, data on the array/cache. - Provide a WebUI in the Dynamix style once the CLI-driven core is stable.
- Eventually make Docker optional/disable-able once feature parity is reached.
See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full rationale behind every decision below.

Installation
Not yet available. Once packages and the .plg manifest are published, installation
will be the standard Unraid flow: Plugins → Install Plugin with the .plg URL, or
via the Unraid Community Applications store once listed there.
