Kubernetes: containers from pods are not showing up

[afbjorklund]

Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

When you inspect a pod, you get a link to the container in the pod:

Name:	sleep
Id:	9be0d094-39fe-41a0-9942-f6aac709c336

Containers using this pod:
sleep	containerd://543f36210cf0c1c864301cd368f05c742b43b30163612539ba77d20da2b73d78

But clicking the link shows a blank page (no such container engine?).

It also not possible to see what image it is running, or get a link to that.

Describe the solution you'd like

Probably Podman Desktop needs to learn how to talk to the CRI ?

Then it could list both containers and images, and more pod info.

Currently nothing from containerd is showing up in Podman Desktop:

• Kind: Indicates images loaded into Kind in Images page #1450

Describe alternatives you've considered

It is possible to use the command line instead

docker exec kind-control-plane crictl pods

docker exec kind-control-plane crictl images

Additional context

It is somewhat confusing that the UID is shown as the ID, in the interface.

    "id": "948376f724c7cc832535ed85c4a0fe9a6f941ce940ce71797138d5da2ebf60f6",
    "metadata": {
      "attempt": 5,
      "name": "sleep",
      "namespace": "default",
      "uid": "9be0d094-39fe-41a0-9942-f6aac709c336"
    },

The containers from the kubernetes cluster should probably only be properties on the pod, not listed under "containers".

When working with kubernetes (as opposed to with containers), they don't really add anything and can be hidden.

Podman Desktop no longer links to containers, so no more blank page...
