# in environment ?
by lejeczek 09 Aug '25

09 Aug '25

Hi guys. Do you use # in your envs? I wonder if it's just me having issues with those. For a test, to reproduce the issue, 'ghost' web solution would be easy & quick: -> $ podman run -dt ...................... --env database__client=mysql --env database__connection__host=11.1.0.1 --env database__connection__user=ghostadm --env database__connection__password='xyz#admghost' --env database__connection__database=ghost_xyz --env url=https://ghost.xyz So far all I've tried with 'database__connection__password' failed, quoting &| escaping. I often use # - does anybody have a way to make it work? many thanks, L.

RunRoot & mistaken IDs
by lejeczek 03 Jul '25

03 Jul '25

Hi guys. I experience this: -> $ podman images WARN[0000] RunRoot is pointing to a path (/run/user/1007/containers) which is not writable. Most likely podman will fail. Error: creating events dirs: mkdir /run/user/1007: permission denied -> $ id uid=2001(podmania) gid=2001(podmania) groups=2001(podmania) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 I think it might have something to do with the fact that I changed UID for the user, but why would this be? How troubleshoot & fix it, ideally without system reboot? many thanks, L.

shouldn't the current directory be the default context for "podman build"?
by Robert P. J. Day 13 Dec '24

13 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? Best regards, -- \ / | | (OvO) | Михаил Иванов | (^^^) | | \^/ | E-mail: ivans(a)isle.spb.ru | ^ ^ | |

I’ve read that the rootless_storage_path setting interprets $HOME and $UID. Does it interpret $TMPDIR or any other variables? Thanks, Ron -------- Ron Rahaman Research Scientist II, Research Software Engineer Partnership for an Advanced Computing Environment (PACE) Georgia Institute of Technology

Generate quadlet unit files with podman
by Mehdi Haghgoo 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

What I have learned from docs so far is that podman cannot generate quadlet unit files, and those need to be written manually. Isn't this inconvenient? I prefer the former " generate aystemd" but it's deprecated. Am I wrong?
