shouldn't the current directory be the default context for "podman build"?
by Robert P. J. Day 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

"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? rday

mqueue msg_max in rootless container
by Michael Ivanov 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

Hallo! I'm trying to run my application in podman rootless container and I stumble on following problem: my program needs /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max to be at least 256, but in running container this value is just 10. When I try to specify this parameter while running the image (--sysctl 'fs.mqueue.msg_max=256') I get the following error: Error: open /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max: Permission denied: OCI permission denied and container is not created. My host where container is being run has this parameter set to 256. How can I expose current host setting for msg_max to my container?

volume ownership changes in rootless mode
by Michael Ivanov 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Greetings, I observe the following strange behavior as regarding volume ownership in rootless mode. I have user oracle with uid 502 and group oinstall with gid 501 both on host system and in my container. I create a volume and change it's ownership as follows: podman volume create data podman unshare chown 502:501 ~/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/rdata/_data ls -ld ~/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/rdata/_data drwxr-xr-x 1 200501 200500 0 мар 14 2021 /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/rdata/_data/ So far so good. I run my test container: podman run --name test --detach --volume rdata:/mnt test And check the volume ownership inside the container: podman exec -it test ls -ld /mnt The owner reported for /mnt is the one configured with --user, when container was built, not oracle:oinstall! I stop the container and check volume owner. It has changed: ls -ld ~/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/rdata/_data drwxr-xr-x 1 201000 200999 0 мар 14 2021 /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/phsdata/_data/ I change volume owner again: podman unshare chown 502:501 ~/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/rdata/_data and run the container using same command: podman run --name test --detach --volume rdata:/mnt test The second time everything is correct: podman exec -it test ls -ld /mnt drwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 14 2021 /mnt And same outside of container: drwxr-xr-x 1 200501 200500 0 мар 14 2021 /home/ivans/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/rdata/_data/ If I remove the volume and create it again, then the ownership is again changed to default container user. So expected ownership is set only after second mount of the volume. What might be wrong here? Best regards, -- \ / | | (OvO) | Михаил Иванов | (^^^) | | \^/ | E-mail: ivans(a)isle.spb.ru | ^ ^ | |

RHEL 8.4 - No private unshared labels
by Jorge Fábregas 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

Hi, I have a RHEL 8.4 box , totally updated, using the "container-tools" module (with the default rolling stream) and noticed that there's no distinction between creating a volume with "z" or "Z". If I use "Z" I never get a "private unshared label" in the corresponding folder (no MLS fields). Is this really not available in RHEL 8.4 or am I missing something? Thanks, Jorge

Proposal for Website Updates
by Scott McCarty 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

All, I chatted with Mehul today and I want to start a conversation around how we could improve the docs. Here are my thoughts: 1. Figure out a way to keep the main page canonical sources on https://github.com/containers/podman/tree/main/docs/source/markdown 2. Synchronize https://github.com/containers/podman/docs/source/markdown <https://github.com/containers/podman/tree/main/docs/source/markdown> to github.com/containers/podman.io/docs/source/markdown <http://github.com/containers/podman.io/docs> 3. Let's move everything else from github.com/containers/podman/docs <http://github.com/containers/podman/docs/source/markdown> over to the github.com/containers/podman.io/docs 4. Update the theme to this new theme Mehul tested [1] call furo. Feel free to test that container image. It pulls the content from the current repository. 5. If we do #3, we can make it easier for people to commit docs because it wouldn't need to go through the full CI/CD gating tests (might not be correct. Is the podman.io repository gated by the same CI/CD?) 6. Second, we could have dedicated editors instead of engineers approve docs changes An alternative to this proposal could be to use a completely new repository apart from podman.io. If we can separate the docs out, I think we could find volunteers to be editors (aka approve PRs). This would allow core code contributors to focus on code, and docs volunteers to focus on docs. Stated another way, I don't think docs needs CI/CD like code. I think editors probably do a better job (though CI/CD could be useful for link checking, etc). Thoughts?

Help with Podman API changes
by Rusty Sapper 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Wonder if anyone can tell me what changed with the API from version 3.1.7 ro 3.2.3? We use the jenkins docker plugin to allow jenkins to connect to our Linux nodes and spin up podman containers to run builds in. up till now, everything worked fine. on a new Linux node, we ran an update and it picked up the latest podman version from our RedHat Satellite server. On the older Nodes, this is the version jenkins shows when using the cloud "test connection" button from the cloud/template setup screen. Version = 3.0.2-dev on the new node to that has the newer version of podman, newer version: Version = 3.2.3 However, Jenkins can no longer spin up the containers. here is the error jenkins provides when trying to start a container with the newer version.: Note: Disabled 21 sec ago due to error. Will re-enable in 4 min 38 sec. Reason: Template provisioning failed. com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.InvalidFormatException: Cannot deserialize value of type `com.github.dockerjava.api.model.Capability` from String "CHECKPOINT_RESTORE": not one of the values accepted for Enum class: [ALL, SYS_BOOT, DAC_OVERRIDE, NET_RAW, BLOCK_SUSPEND, FOWNER, IPC_LOCK, IPC_OWNER, SYS_PACCT, NET_BIND_SERVICE, WAKE_ALARM, FSETID, DAC_READ_SEARCH, SYS_CHROOT, SYS_RAWIO, SYS_ADMIN, KILL, MAC_ADMIN, SYS_RESOURCE, CHOWN, SETPCAP, SYS_PTRACE, NET_ADMIN, SETFCAP, SYS_NICE, LINUX_IMMUTABLE, AUDIT_CONTROL, LEASE, AUDIT_WRITE, SYS_MODULE, MKNOD, SYSLOG, MAC_OVERRIDE, SYS_TIME, SETGID, SETUID, SYS_TTY_CONFIG, NET_BROADCAST] at [Source: (byte[]) the only thing that changed is the newer version of podman. seems like maybe the API is returning some new information of the formatting of the returned info has changed? any help or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rusty

Re: Podman machine & portforwarding

You have to create a new network and it will work nicely. We couldn't make the default network work correctly in time but long-term it will work. so ... podman network create new podman run ... --network new ...
