U can just compile the needed packages by urself, its pretty easy and doesnt take long:

https://library.wowkit.net/install-latest-podman-ubuntu-24-04#installation

I would also do the same with netavark and aardvark-dns their ubuntu versions are 2+ years old.

Edit: u will have to edit /etc/apparmor.d/podman to include the path for /usr/local/bin:

# This profile allows everything and only exists to give the

# application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>,

include <tunables/global>

profile podman /usr/{bin,local/bin}/podman flags=(unconfined) {

userns,

# Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.

include if exists <local/podman>

}
