# 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 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

Two new container images available
by Chris Evich 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

Two new automated container image builds are now available: * For Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo: "immutable" tags are being added to all "stable" images. These tags will never be overwritten, though they may be removed if a major security/safety issue is detected. In contrast to the other stable tags, which are overwritten daily, these images assume you desire to manage any update vs stability risk. The new tags apply to all combinations of the semantic tool version, so vX-immutable, vX.Y-immutable, and vX.Y.Z-immutable will be available. * quay.io/containers/aio:latest and quay.io/containers/aio:<date stamp> images contain all three tools (Podman, Buildah, and Skopeo). The images are built weekly using a fedora-minimal base to keep the size as small as possible. These are intended as a base-image for development and/or CI/CD use. The <date stamp> is formatted to be used as a semantic version. Old tags expire and will be removed after 1-year. Please direct any issues, discussions, or RFEs toward the https://github.com/containers/image_build repo.

podmansh
by Felix Niederwanger 26 Apr '24

26 Apr '24

Hello, I'm trying to get podmansh to work in such a way, that every user has a persistent container. I've followed the steps of https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podmansh.1.html, resulting in a nice setup, where at user login every user get's its own container. Unfortunately the container for the user session is ephemeral, meaning after logging out or system reboot the container is destroyed. I would like to have a setup, where quadlet setups a base container, but then every user can install their own software and environment, which lasts. Here is the quadlet file I'm currently using: ``` # /etc/containers/systemd/users/podmansh.container [Unit] Description=podmansh container After=local-fs.target ExecStartPre=-/bin/mkdir -p %h/data [Container] Image=registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora ContainerName=podmansh HostName=arctic-fox RemapUsers=keep-id RunInit=yes User=0 Volume=%h/data:%h:Z WorkingDir=%h Exec=sleep infinity [Service] ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mkdir -p %h/data [Install] RequiredBy=default.target ``` Anyone an idea how to achieve persistent podmansh containers? Greetings, phoenix

Re: Podlet Migration Questions

Thanks! If publishing the podlet container to quay.io/containers is a no-go, another option is to publish it to the GitHub Packages Container registry, so it would be available at ghcr.io/containers/podlet. Ok so I'll move the current contribution docs (building and CI stuff) from the README.md to CONTRIBUTING.md and add information about DCO sign-off. -- Paul Nettleton k9(a)k9withabone.dev On Thursday, April 25, 2024 09:23 CDT, Brent Baude <bbaude(a)redhat.com> wrote: Paul, I'm happy to help you with the GH things. Your asks seem reasonable to me. I'll talk with the team about the quay.io/containers stuff but I don't believe we have given folks access to that before; so there is no precedent. Of the core containers repositories, we do require DCO signoff and will generally fail the PR if it is not included. If you are indifferent about it, my preference would be to require it.
