Podman 4.7.2 can't run imported containers by a service user. Is it a bug?

Hi folks, My storage config looks like: # /etc/containers/storage.conf [storage] driver = "overlay" graphroot = "/custom/path/root/data" rootless_storage_path = "/custom/path/$USER/data" runroot = "/run/containers/storage And I have "service" users (that are not to supposed to be used as normal users) with such config: # /etc/passwd foobar:x:5000:100::/var/empty:/usr/sbin/nologin I can run a container like this: su foobar podman run -d docker.io/library/debian:bookworm sleep infinity but I can't import a container and run it: podman load < /tmp/image.tar.gz podman image ls podman run -d 9ff9136eaaab sleep infinity Error: mkdir /var/empty/.cache: operation not permitted Testing this as a "normal" user (user with writable home directory) I noticed that Podman creates the following file: ls -lA .cache/containers/short-name-aliases.conf.lock -rw-r--r-- 1 me users 0 Dec 3 16:45 .cache/containers/short-name-aliases.conf.lock Obviously that can't work with a "service" user since it doesn't have writable home. Could you please advise is this a bug? Should I create an issue on github? Thank you. Hans
