Deploy Podman to Microsoft Intune
Red HatWindowsversion 5.8.3, 12 June 2026
Podman is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Red Hat, synced from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). Pick it in the App Library and PatchBee writes the deployment plan below, builds the package, publishes it to your Intune tenant and assigns it to the Entra groups you choose. New versions then follow through your update rings.
The plan PatchBee writes
Podman as an Intune app
The standard form for a WiX Burn bundle (x64, per machine). The real plan is generated from the installer when you package, and shown in full before anything is published; every field can be changed.
- Intune app type
- Windows app (Win32), .intunewin
- Install
- "Podman.exe" WSLCheckbox=0
- Uninstall
- "Podman.exe" /uninstall /quiet /norestart
- Detection

Installers in version 5.8.3
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x64 | WiX Burn bundle | per machine | SHA-256 published |
| ARM64 | WiX Burn bundle | per machine | SHA-256 published |
PatchBee downloads the installer from the publisher's own URL and verifies its SHA-256 against the catalog before packaging. "None published" means the source carries no hash for this download, so that check has nothing to compare against; packaging still works.
Silent install switches
Recorded for Podman in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.
- Custom (always added)
- WSLCheckbox=0
- Install location
- InstallFolder="<INSTALLPATH>"
About Podman
Podman is a daemonless, open source, Linux native tool designed to make it easy to find, run, build, share and deploy applications using Open Containers Initiative (OCI) Containers and Container Images.
Podman provides a command line interface (CLI) familiar to anyone who has used the Docker Container Engine.
Most users can simply alias Docker to Podman (alias docker=podman) without any problems.
Similar to other common Container Engines (Docker, CRI-O, containerd), Podman relies on an OCI compliant Container Runtime (runc, crun, runv, etc) to interface with the operating system and create the running containers.
This makes the running containers created by Podman nearly indistinguishable from those created by any other common container engine.

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find Podman in the App Library, open its plan (the commands, detection rule and requirements above, editable) and publish: PatchBee downloads and verifies the installer, builds the package, creates the Intune app and assigns your groups. When Red Hat ships a new version, PatchBee detects it and rolls it out through your rings, with supersedence and rollback.

Catalog data as of 11 October 2026, from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). The product re-reads the source every night and plans against the live catalog, so the version here may already be one behind. Nothing is published to a tenant without an administrator approving the plan.
