12:01 p.m.
On RHEL 8 (CSB), I'm attempting to use podman. I've added myself to
/etc/sub{u,g}id, logged out and then back in. I've reinstalled
shadow-utils. Everything seems like it ought to work now, but no matter
what podman command I run, I seem to hit a runtime error.
```
$ podman --log-level debug image list
INFO[0000] running as rootless
ERRO[0000] Could not get runtime: error creating runtime static files
directory /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/containers/storage/libpod: mkdir
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:: permission denied
```
Running with `sudo` is successful, but I'm trying to avoid a `sudo`
dependency if possible.
Ultimately, I'd like to pull an image from quay.io via the podman Ansible
module, and I assume this error is why my playbook reliably fails at the
podman task.

Podman has nothing to do with /var/lib/flatpack, so did you somehow add
this to storage.conf?
8:04 p.m.
The inclusion of Flatpak in the path confused me too. Flatpak, as I
recall, came preinstalled on the system and I haven't done anything (in my
memory) to change it.
Nothing in /etc/containers/storage.conf about Flatpak:
```
$ grep -v '^#' /etc/containers/storage.conf | awk 'NF'
[storage]
driver = "overlay"
runroot = "/var/run/containers/storage"
graphroot = "/var/lib/containers/storage"
[storage.options]
additionalimagestores = [
]
size = ""
override_kernel_check = "true"
[storage.options.thinpool]
```

Thanks. I checked ~/.config/containers/storage.conf and it seems the
flatpak entry is indeed from that file.
I'm not clear on what is generating that file, but there seems to be no way
to alter or remove it reliably:
I don't know what's adding flatpak there, but no matter what I did to
remove it, it was added back to the file.
Eventually, I did a chmod 444 on the file to prevent alteration. Now I get
this error instead:
```
$ cat ~/.config/containers/storage.conf
[storage]
driver = "overlay"
runroot = "/run/user/100900"
graphroot = "/containers/storage"
[storage.options]
mount_program = "/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs"
$ podman image list
Could not get runtime: error creating runtime static files directory
/containers/storage/libpod: mkdir /containers: permission denied
```
Finally, I settled on a modification that I assume ought to work, but
unfortunately podman seems to hang:
```
$ cat ~/.config/containers/storage.conf
[storage]
driver = "overlay"
runroot = "/run/user/100900"
graphroot = "~/.config/containers/storage"
[storage.options]
mount_program = "/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs"
$ time podman --log-level debug image list
INFO[0000] running as rootless

Any ideas about what might be abducting my

Sure, but you also need to check .config/containers/storage.conf

Just remove the containers.conf file from your homedir, and it should work
rm ~/.config/containers/containers.conf.
If you have anything else in that directory that you don't understand,
remove them also.
