Containers
6 Tools
Containers is a GitHub organization that describes itself as an open repository for container tools: a collection of open source tools that create, configure, and work with containers. Its repositories include RamaLama, which serves AI models locally through containers, the Podman Desktop AI Lab extension, Python bindings for Podman's REST API, Ansible Podman collections and the Podman terminal UI. The Podman repository now lives in the separate Podman Container Tools organization, which the CNCF accepted as a Sandbox project on January 21, 2025.
