After reboot, Container not responding to connection requests
by Jacques Jessen
Running Podman as root and created a container for Symantec's HSM Agent.
When manually started, it reports as working:
[root@PoC ~]# podman ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES

You can successfully access the 8080, 8082, 8443 ports with a browser.
However, if the server is rebooted, while Podman will show results as above that it is working, from a browser you will be told:
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
If you manually Stop and Start the container, you can successfully access the 8080, 8082, 8443 ports with a browser.
Given there's no change in the configuration, this feels like there's a timing issue with the initial start. I used the Podman provided response to create the Service file:
[root@PoC ~]# podman generate systemd --new --name symhsm_agent

Having to manually login and restart the container kind of defeats the purpose.
Thoughts and feedback appreciated.
