podman runtime

[feloy]

Create a podman runtime, which will start a container using the podman CLI, and run the agent inside the container.

This will be based on the project https://github.com/zaneb/claude-container

The container is based on the fedora image, and can be personalized with (from workspace configuration):

• the version of the fedora image
• a list of packages to be installed with dnf
• a list of environment variables, defined with hardcoded values or through secrets
• a personalized Containerfile

The users directories are mounted:

• sources
• additional source dirs with path relative to sources (to support git worktrees, which link to the main repo)
• .claude user directory (or similar for other agents)
• other user files/directories (git config, gcloud config for vertex AI auth, etc)

The container is started with a noop entrypoint (tail -f /dev/null), and the user needs to access the container with another command (podman exec -it ... claude) for the moment

The project https://github.com/cgwalters/devaipod should also be considered as it seems more up to date
