Use the podman_pod Chef InSpec audit resource to test the properties of a pod on Podman.

Syntax

Use the podman_pod Chef InSpec audit resource to test the properties of a pod on Podman.

describe podman_pod("nginx-frontend") do
  it { should exist }
  its("id") { should eq "fcfe4d471cfface0d1b39bce23af7d31ab8736cd68c0360ade0b4afe364f79d4" }
  its("name") { should eq "nginx-frontend" }
  its("created_at") { should eq "2022-07-14T15:47:47.978078124+05:30" }
  its("create_command") { should include "new:nginx-frontend" }
  its("state") { should eq "Running" }
end

it { should exist }

Examples

Test if a pod exists on Podman and verifies pod properties:

describe podman_pod("nginx-frontend") do
  it { should exist }
  its("id") { should eq "fcfe4d471cfface0d1b39bce23af7d31ab8736cd68c0360ade0b4afe364f79d4" }
  its("name") { should eq "nginx-frontend" }
  its("created_at") { should eq "2022-07-14T15:47:47.978078124+05:30" }
  its("create_command") { should include "new:nginx-frontend" }
  its("state") { should eq "Running" }
  its("hostname") { should eq "" }
  its("create_cgroup") { should eq true }
  its("cgroup_parent") { should eq "user.slice" }
  its("cgroup_path") { should eq "user.slice/user-libpod_pod_fcfe4d471cfface0d1b39bce23af7d31ab8736cd68c0360ade0b4afe364f79d4.slice" }
  its("create_infra") { should eq true }
  its("infra_container_id") { should eq "727538044b32a165934729dc2d47d9d5e981b6496aebfad7de470f7e76ea4251" }
  its("infra_config") { should include "DNSOption" }
  its("shared_namespaces") { should include "ipc" }
  its("num_containers") { should eq 2 }
  its("containers") { should_not be nil }
end

Test if a pod doesn’t exist on Podman:

describe podman_pod("non_existing_pod") do
  it { should_not exist }
end
