- versions.env pins podman, conmon, crun, netavark, aardvark-dns, passt, and fuse-overlayfs to verified upstream source checksums; SlackBuild recipes, scripts/build-packages.sh, checksums.sh, release.sh, and update-versions.sh implement the reproducible pipeline; GitHub Actions workflows build in a Slackware container and publish releases without committing any binaries. - plugin/podman.plg installs/updates/removes all eight packages (the seven components plus the plugin's own unraid-podman scaffolding package) via upgradepkg, using the official Unraid array-event hook mechanism (event/disks_mounted, event/stopping) instead of editing /boot/config/go. rc.podman and the sbin/ helper scripts implement storage creation, config seeding/sync, preflight checks, autostart with per-container Safe-Mode, and package verify/update/rollback. - webui/plugins/podman implements the Dashboard, Containers, Pods, Images, Volumes, Networks, Logs, Terminal, Compose, and Settings panels against the approved mockup (webui/mockups/prototype.html), talking to podman system service exclusively via PodmanClient.php (libpod REST API over the Unix socket), with two documented exceptions: Terminal's one-shot exec model and Compose's use of the podman compose CLI, since libpod has no REST equivalent for either. - docs/ARCHITECTURE.md and docs/ROADMAP.md record the design decisions and honest current status (syntax-checked, unit- and integration-tested against fake sockets/servers; not yet run against a real Unraid/Podman/Slackware system).

packages/
One subdirectory per Slackware .txz package required by the plugin, built
against Unraid's Slackware base. See
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, section 5
for the full rationale (why these components, static linking preference,
version pinning, build strategy).
Packages
| Directory | Upstream project | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
podman/ |
containers/podman | Core container engine binary |
conmon/ |
containers/conmon | Container monitor process |
crun/ |
containers/crun | OCI runtime (preferred over runc) |
netavark/ |
containers/netavark | Network backend |
aardvark-dns/ |
containers/aardvark-dns | DNS for container-to-container name resolution |
containers-common/ |
containers/common | Default config/seccomp/registries templates |
fuse-overlayfs/ |
containers/fuse-overlayfs | Fallback storage driver (rootless, Phase 2) |
passt/ |
passt.top (no GitHub mirror) | Rootless networking (Phase 2), successor to slirp4netns |
unraid-podman/ |
this repository (not an upstream project) | Plugin's own scaffolding — rc.podman, sbin/ scripts, event/ hooks, config templates (see its README) |
podman, conmon, crun, netavark, aardvark-dns, passt,
fuse-overlayfs, and unraid-podman are built and released automatically by
.github/workflows/build-packages.yml. containers-common currently only
supplies reference config (see config/) and is not yet wired
into the automated build.
Standard layout per package
Each package directory follows the same skeleton:
packages/<name>/
├── <name>.SlackBuild # Slackware build script (source download, build, packaging)
├── slack-desc # Slackware package description (max 70 cols / 11 lines)
├── patches/ # Optional patches applied during the build
└── README.md # Upstream version pinned, build notes, patch rationale
Build pipeline
Packages are built via scripts/build-packages.sh, which runs each
package's <name>.SlackBuild in turn (see scripts/lib/slackbuild-common.sh
for the shared fetch/verify/package helpers they all use). This must run
inside a Slackware-compatible build environment — never on an arbitrary host
distro, to avoid glibc/ABI drift against Unraid's base.
.github/workflows/build-packages.yml is the CI entry point: it runs the
same script inside a pinned Slackware container
(scripts/ci/setup-slackware-buildenv.sh bootstraps any build-time
dependency the base image doesn't already ship) and uploads the results as a
workflow artifact — nothing built is ever committed to this repository.
Exact upstream versions and source checksums are pinned centrally in
versions.env (update via scripts/update-versions.sh,
never by hand) and, at release time, mirrored into the top-level
plugin/podman.plg manifest together with MD5 checksums by
scripts/release.sh, so installs are reproducible and rollback-able — see
docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, section 14 (Rollback).
