ManageIQ Container on RHEL 7

The ManageIQ quick start provides instructions for using docker including the docker service. On RHEL 7 and 8 podman is the way to go for working with containers. For reference here is the original documentation I have adapted this guide from: http://manageiq.org/docs/get-started/docker

Get the RHEL 7 software for working with containers:

subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-extras-rpms --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
yum install podman

Download the ManageIQ container:

podman pull manageiq/manageiq:hammer-7

Start ManageIQ mapping port external port 8443 to the internal secure web server:

podman run -d -p 8443:443 manageiq/manageiq:hammer-7
firewall-cmd --add-port 8443/tcp

Connect to the ManageIQ Web UI:

firefox https://<container_host>:8443/
