Hello.
I have tried Podman in Fedora 31. Not a rootless setup.
Software versions:
podman-1.6.2-2.fc31.x86_64
containernetworking-plugins-0.8.2-2.1.dev.git485be65.fc31.x86_64
I have created two containers:
# podman container run -d --name nginx_1 -p 80:80 nginx
# podman container run -d --name nginx_2 -p 81:80 nginx
Then I wanted to make sure that they start on boot.
According to RHEL 7 documentation,
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux_at...
, I am supposed to create systemd units. OK, let's take the documented
form of the unit and turn it into a template:
[Unit]
Description=Container %i
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman start -a %i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/podman stop -t 2 %i
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This doesn't work if there is more than one container. The error
is:
Nov 04 21:35:57 podman[2268]: time="2019-11-04T21:35:57+05:00"

(as you can see, the conflict is against the container itself)
Apparently different runs of podman need to be serialized against each
other. This works:
[Unit]
Description=Container %i
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=flock /run/lock/subsys/container.lck /usr/bin/podman start %i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/podman stop -t 2 %i
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Questions:
a) Why isn't some equivalent of this unit shipped with podman? Or, am
I missing some package that ships it?
b) Why isn't the necessary locking built into podman itself? Or, is it
a bug in containernetworking-plugins?
These containers aren't using static IPs, correct?
I can recall an issue where static IP allocations were leaving address
reservations around after reboot, causing issues... But that should be
fixed on the Podman we ship in F31.
Otherwise, this sounds suspiciously like a CNI bug. I would hope that
CNI has sufficient locking to prevent this from racing, but I could be
wrong.
Also, you should try using `podman generate systemd` for unit files.
Looking at your unit files, I don't think they operate as advertised
(`start --attach` can exit while the container is still running, so
tracking it is not a reliable way of tracking the container).
Thanks,
Matt Heon
