Hi Jan,
are you using cgroup v2 on your host?  podman info can confirm that.
If so, the ubi7 image uses a systemd version that has no support for
cgroup v2.
What you can do is:
1) use cgroup v1 on the host
2) use ubi:8 for the container
3) if you are using crun, you can mount cgroup v1 in the container:
# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
# mount none -t cgroup -o none,name=systemd /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd
# podman run --annotation run.oci.systemd.force_cgroup_v1=/sys/fs/cgroup ....

 Hello!
 I have an issue with running "ubi7-init" based container. When I base mine
 container on "fedora", it works fine:
     $ cat Containerfile
     FROM fedora
     RUN dnf -y install httpd; dnf clean all; systemctl enable httpd
     EXPOSE 80
     CMD [ "/sbin/init" ]
 and then:
     $ sudo podman build -f Containerfile
     $ sudo podman run -ti -p 80:80

 But when I try the same with ubi7-init based container (or rhel7-init):
     $ cat Containerfile
     FROM 
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi7/ubi-init
     RUN echo -e
"[repo1]\nname=repo1\nbaseurl=http://repos.example.com/RHEL-7/7.9/Server/x86_64/os/\ngpgcheck=0\nenabled=1"
>/etc/yum.repos.d/repo1.repo; yum -y install httpd; yum clean all;
 systemctl enable httpd
     EXPOSE 80
     CMD [ "/sbin/init" ]
 it fails:
     $ sudo podman run -ti -p 80:80

     Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd: Operation not permitted

 And same with privileged:
     $ sudo podman run -ti -p 80:80 --privileged=true

     Failed to mount cgroup at /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd: Operation not permitted
     [!!!!!!] Failed to mount API filesystems, freezing.
 I have these versions:
     $ rpm -q fedora-release-common podman
     fedora-release-common-33-3.noarch
     podman-2.2.1-1.fc33.x86_64
     $ sudo podman version
     Version:      2.2.1
     API Version:  2.1.0
     Go Version:   go1.15.5
     Built:        Tue Dec  8 15:37:50 2020
     OS/Arch:      linux/amd64
 Running very similar container on RHEL7 with docker-1.10.3-59.el7.x86_64
 (there is 1.13.1 available, but have not tried) works fine.
 Please, any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
 Thank you in advance and happy new year!
 Regards,
 Jan
