I’m developing this tiny web app which I want to run on an old laptop and put it on my portfolio.

I used podman, I have a pod with 3 containers, local images and everything is working fine on my workstation.

I envisioned just copying the kubernetes yaml on the old laptop, run play and pat myself on the back. I guess it doesn’t work like that…? Do I need to publish the container images somewhere? And other things? How does it work in a company?

Thanks in advance 😊

You need to be able to pull or build the images on the other machine. At a company you would use a private container image registry on something like GitHub, GitLab or JFrog.

Setting up a GitLab instance is a really cool homelab project that can also go on your portfolio.

Develop on your workstation, push to the registry on machine B, pull from that and run on machine B

That clarifies things, thanks! I’m definitely interested setting up a proper homelab
