Using Podman with FBX

Support
1

I know this is not a FBX feature, but wanting to try using rootless podman (via Debian sources), I’m having trouble.

  • I’ve installed podman-cockpit via debian sources (this came with all deps including podman)
  • I’ve enabled podman through cockpit
  • Tried to pull images via cockpit (doesn’t work - hangs for hours)
  • Tried pulling image via terminal, some blobs seem to be downloaded but process falls in to error with below output.
Error: copying system image from manifest list: writing blob: adding layer with blob "sha256:cf04c63912e16506c4413937c7f4579018e4bb25c272d989789cfba77b12f951": ApplyLayer stdout:  stderr: potentially insufficient UIDs or GIDs available in user namespace (requested 0:42 for /etc/shadow): Check /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid if configured locally and run podman-system-migrate: lchown /etc/shadow: invalid argument exit status 1

I’ve done plenty of search but just cant seem to overcome the problem. Any help with those experienced would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.

  • podman system migrate doesn’t seem to solve the issue.
  • sudo does the trick but prefer using podman without root
