Hi Red Hat Team!

# Problem

GitHub Actions currently run on Ubuntu 22.04 runners (soon to be 24.04 later this year). **The Ubuntu repos have an extremely outdated version of Podman available. (Podman 3.0)**

With the recent release of the Bootc images, there is an expectation for users to extend images in their own CI environment. The incompatibilities with the older version of Podman building Fedora 40 images have caused users to face problems when building images.

# Questions

**Do you happen to have any plans internally of improving support of Podman in GitHub Actions?**

I have concerns that users will use Docker or will resort to installing Podman from unofficial and untrusted locations to solve the problems above.

For example, in the CentOS/centos-bootc repository, they are getting around this issue by installing Podman from OpenSUSE's unstable devel repository.

# Proposed Solutions

1. A first-party setup-podman action, which installs Podman without depending on the ubuntu apt repository in the same way that there's a setup-node and setup-docker-buildx action
2. Some documentation on your website with whichever way you recommend installing a newer podman version

Thank you for your time!

Robert
