### Rationale
|
|
|
|
|
|
-[In a previous post]({% post_url 2020-01-23-run-with-podman %}) I demonstrated the benefits of running and developing code in containers in order to maintain a clean and predictable development environment. After using [run-with-podman](https://git.bryanroessler.com/bryan/run-with-podman) for several months I found that there would often be edge cases requiring additional argument handling. In light of this, I have simplified run-with-podman into a [podman](https://podman.io/) cli wrapper that users can use to pass arguments directly to podman while maintaining the container management benefits of run-with-podman. It's a much simpler script that gives more power to users.

### Who is `podmanRun` intended for?
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Anyone that wants to easily run programs in ephemeral or persistent containers. Personally, I use podmanRun in order to quickly test code in different Linux distributions, automate compilation, and deploy containerized build services including preprocessors and web servers.
