shouldn't the current directory be the default context for "podman build"?
by Robert P. J. Day
"man podman-build" suggests that the context argument is optional:
SYNOPSIS
podman build [options] [context]
podman image build [options] [context]
...
If no context directory is specified, then Podman will assume
the current working directory as the build context, which
should contain the Containerfile.
but if i have a directory with nothing but a Containerfile, i get:
$ podman build
Error: no context directory specified, and no containerfile specified
$
OTOH, specifying context of current directory:
$ podman build .
STEP 1: FROM alpine:latest
... etc etc ...
thoughts?

Podman v4.9.4 Released!
by Matt Heon
Hi all,
Podman v4.9.4 has been released. This is a patch release for Podman v4
including the fix to CVE-2024-1753, which was already released with Podman
5.0.0. It is provided for the convenience of distributions that cannot
switch to Podman v5 as it is a major version bump (e.g. Fedora versions 38
and 39). It is likely that this will be the last Podman v4 release; we
expect all further development to be on Podman v5.0.
You find more details in the release page on Github here:
https://github.com/containers/podman/releases/tag/v4.9.4
Thanks,

Accessing exposed ports from containers
by Bjoern Franke
Hi,
I'm trying to run a gitea runner with an exposed port where a caching
server listens. Dynamically spawned containers want to connect on
<hostip>:<exposedport> and get a timeout.
The port is exposed in the common way (mapping <extport>:<intport> in
docker-compose.yml) and accessible on the external IP from outside.
Host-OS is Arch, networking via netavark, default bridge setup and
podman 4.9.3.
I'm wondering why the containers can't connect to the exposed port on
the host while external connections are possible.
Regards
Bjoern

image repository for podman
by Harish Gaddale
Hi All,
I am new to podman. Pardon if this question is an obvious one.
To pull docker images, we go to docker registry / hub : https://hub.docker.com
Is there a podman registry or hub where we could find all the podman images?
If there is no special registry or hub, what is the reason for that?
Thank You

nscd and pam_ldap inside of a container
by HUANG, TONY
Hi,
I have a noobie question:
I am attempting to have my container to point to two of my ldap servers -
one primary and one backup - both replicating off of each other.
I've unplugged the network cable from my primary LDAP server to test my
poor-man's of failover, but my app in the container seems to be having a
hard time to not forget about the primary LDAP server. After a minute or
two it seems to have picked up the backup LDAP server, but now I am having
to wait every time I type a command.
I see in the container that /etc/nscd.conf has enable-cache for passwd,
group, and hosts. Should I be changing the values there to achieve what I
want to see in terms of my poor way of a failover test?
Thanks for your help!
