Package: podman Version: 3.0.1+dfsg1-3+deb11u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I went to try running podman as a normal user using the systemd service and socket defined by the Debian package. Namely: $ systemctl --user start podman.service The service requires podman.socket which creates: /run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock podman-system-service(1) mentions the API listening services expires after 5 seconds and thus the service self terminate. Which is fine since a request made to the podman.sock would bring up the service again. However the service deletes the socket file upon completion and it is not recreated by podman.socket and the setup is broken. My workaround has been to make a copy of the service: cp /lib/systemd/system/podman.service \ ~/.config/systemd/user/mypodman.service Amend it to no more relies on the podman.socket and instruct the service to stay up indefinitely by passing it --time 0: ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman $LOGGING system service --time 0 -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.19.0-0.deb11.2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages podman depends on: ii conmon 2.0.25+ds1-1.1 ii containerd.io [runc] 1.6.10-1 ii containernetworking-plugins 0.9.0-1+b6 ii crun 0.17+dfsg-1 ii golang-github-containers-common 0.33.4+ds1-1+deb11u1 ii init-system-helpers 1.60 ii iptables 1.8.7-1 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u5 ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.175-2.1 ii libgpgme11 1.14.0-1+b2 ii libseccomp2 2.5.1-1+deb11u1 Versions of packages podman recommends: ii buildah 1.19.6+dfsg1-1+b6 ii catatonit 0.1.5-2 ii fuse-overlayfs 1.4.0-1 ii golang-github-containernetworking-plugin-dnsname 1.1.1+ds1-4+b7 ii slirp4netns 1.0.1-2 ii uidmap 1:4.8.1-1 Versions of packages podman suggests: pn containers-storage <none> ii docker-compose 1.27.4-3~bpo11+1 -- no debconf information
