RunRoot & mistaken IDs
by lejeczek 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 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? Best regards, -- \ / | | (OvO) | Михаил Иванов | (^^^) | | \^/ | E-mail: ivans(a)isle.spb.ru | ^ ^ | |

Hi Podman team, For your awareness: Fedora CoreOS is going to include the passt package (providing the 'pasta' network back-end): https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/1436 https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2023-03-08/fedora_coreos… Hence Podman users on Fedora CoreOS will be able to use it soon.
