Feedback on Podman Desktop documentation?

[mairin]

👋🏻 So I know the category here is on Design Feedback, but I wasn't sure what category to put this in. :) We are interested in feedback on our documentation for Podman Desktop, though! This is our current documentation:

https://podman-desktop.io/docs/intro

Note Podman-specific documentation is available here (and that's a bit in flux, we're still converting the docs from the old website format to the new one):

https://podman.io/docs

Some questions I'd like to ask :)

• Have you read our documentation for Podman Desktop before?
• Have you tried to find something in the documentation you couldn't find?
• Is there any kind of tutorial or documentation format you would like to see?
• Do you bounce between the Podman Desktop documentation and Podman documentation, or tend to stick to Podman Desktop docs?

Any/all feedback on the documentation is greatly appreciated in this thread :)

Have you read our documentation for Podman Desktop before?

Yes.

Have you tried to find something in the documentation you couldn't find?

Yes ("silent install parameter") - but after raising the issue it was included in the docs :)

Is there any kind of tutorial or documentation format you would like to see?

I would like to see a documentation/tutorial targeted for "system administrators" on how to

• install Podman / Podman Desktop silently
• in an airgapped environment
• including pre-configuring Podman/Podman Desktop
  • to use a corporate proxy
  • to use a corporate registry as search registry and as docker.io mirror (https://podman.io/docs/installation#registriesconf)
  • to include corporate/internal CA certificates in podman machine (https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/podman-install-certificate-authority.md)

These topics are all kind of covered in various places - but putting those all together is quite cumbersome.

Do you bounce between the Podman Desktop documentation and Podman documentation, or tend to stick to Podman Desktop docs?

I keep bouning between Desktop docs and the podman docs (old and new) quite a lot.

These are great suggestions, thanks @eidottermihi!
