You could do a podman system reset and then remove all content from the storage with rm -rf ~/.local/share/containers To make sure there is nothing hidden there,
But that's almost exactly what I did:
I just purged the whole storage using podman system reset. I verified that ~/.local/share/containers became empty (only bolt database was still remaining using about 200Mb space)
I'm using whatever storage was provided by default podman install (debian sid/bookworm) podman is 4.3.1 How can I reconfigure it to different type? I assumed this has to be done in storage.conf but this file is not present anywhere at all.
I have no idea why debian would be choosing VFS, unless this is an older version of debian and did not support rootless overaly. You could try installling fuse-overlayfs and doing another reset, then Podman info should show you using overlay with fuse-overlayfs.
Dan, In Debian, I've chosen to just go with the upstream defaults: https://github.com/containers/storage/blob/8428fad6d0d3c4cded8fd7702af36a09f... This file is installed verbatim to /usr/share/containers/storage.conf. Is there a better choice? Does Fedora/Redhat provide a default storage.conf from somewhere else? Thanks, -rt
