[Podman] Re: Installation & First Pull
by jimsaxton1＠comcast.net
Hey Chris,
So, redhat / quay mention the redis site the repo is on is being eliminated / removed. Soon as I get a sec, will try a different repo and reply.
Thanks for the information.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get that 'credentials are valid' success message if the networking was broken. IIRC it's just http basic auth being used.

This is very odd, since the login worked. You original mail mentioned "I've added the proxies and...". The behavior strikes me as something that could come from a bad/broken http proxy setup, by chance are you using one?
If you ssh into the machine, are you able to use curl or wget to fetch anything over http? For example http://www.quay.io ?
Note: I get a redirect page when doing this, "301 Moved Permanently".
This is expected.

[Podman] Re: Deprecation announcement for CNI plugins
by Doug Rabson
Right now, the CNI plugins are the only option for networking on FreeBSD.
The new stack seems very exciting though and FreeBSD has recently added
netlink support so porting it seems quite possible (and is probably a good
excuse to learn a bit of rust).

The syntax is `container ID: host ID: range`. So `100:1:1` means that
container UID 100 is mapped to host UID 1 for the range of length 1.
`100:1:10` would mean that 10 UIDs starting at 100 inside the container are
mapped to 10 outside the container at UID 1.
That being said, are you sure what you specified above is correct? In case
you are not sure, can you elaborate why you want to achieve? I am hesitant
to give an answer as the ranges look strange to me.

If you would like podman-machine to start at boot, then using
podman-desktop would be the route to go.

That sounds like `UserNS=keep-id`:
~ $ id -u && podman run --rm --userns=keep-id busybox id -u
1000
1000

Yes, you can still do a `podman exec --user=0 $CONTAINER apt-get install

I think `UserNS=keep-id` is what you are looking for. If something is
missing that forces you to use `PodmanArgs`, feel free to open an issue and
we can add it.

[Podman] Re: Deprecation announcement for CNI plugins
by Anders F Björklund
The only objection was that we didn't want to have two network stacks for
minikube, since we were already using CNI for kubernetes (with CRI-O)
Also didn't want to add a Rust toolchain. But for now using Podman 3.4 will
work for a while yet, and I guess it is inevitable considering conmon-rs....
For our limited use case of "podman build", --network=host also works ?
At least they don't have to fight over /etc/cni/net.d directory, anymore
:-)

Yeah, your command would not work, because it starts with a single quote
and ends with a double quote :-)
But, you point in the right direction: this hosts sits behind a firewall
and it seems that outbound port 80 and 443 are blocked. I wasn't aware of
this.
Thanks for your hint

We are not dropping CNI right away, we are just announcing it so that we
don't need to ship it in RHEL10 and Fedora 39. So Podman 4.4 and later
will continue to have CNI support for a while yet.

[Podman] Fwd: Re: What to use instead of RemapUsers/RemapUid/RemapGid in Quadlet now?
by jklaiho＠iki.fi
Hi,
(Apologies, my last e-mail I think I accidentally sent to Erik, not the list; missing bits quoted below)
OK, I did not realize that the Remap* commands used --userns behind the scenes, I thought they used --uidmap and --gidmap.
That brings me back to my original need, which I'll reiterate:
"When using a regular host user to run a rootless container, map the container user as the host user."
That's really basic, right? Surely works without PodmanArgs already.
My only addition to that is: "If the container user is root (or sudoed to root), allow it to drop privileges so it can install apt packages."
Still sounds really basic, and where I work, it's really common. If there's problems, we exec into a deployed container and install some troubleshooting tools with apt that the minimalistic image doesn't contain by default. Based on previous discussions, the apt privilege drop needs one extra subordinate UID/GID to be available.
While I'm currently using the Remap* options to achieve these, I'm not married to them – they're just the first thing that I got to work.
I've used PodmanArgs before, but in each case only as a stopgap measure while waiting for an option to appear in Quadlet.
So, hopefully my final question in this thread: is this "map user and allow dropping privileges" scenario doable with the Quadlet UserNS option, or do I need to open an issue?
