About Pods
Pods is a graphical front end for Podman and Docker, built with libadwaita to follow GNOME's design guidelines. It connects to local and remote instances and gives an overview of images, containers and pods.
You can inspect them, view and search container logs, monitor processes, pull images and build them from Dockerfiles, and create pods and containers. Start, stop, pause and delete work in bulk, and you can prune images and rename containers. It is distributed through Flathub.
