podman

podman notes

rootless containers with kernel >= 5.11 overlayfs
- rm -rf ~/.{config,local/share}/containers /run/user/$(id -u)/{libpod,runc,vfs-*} or podman system migrate or podman system reset
- touch /etc/subuid /etc/subgid && usermod --add-subuids 100000-165535 --add-subgids 100000-165535 $(whoami) for pid/gid
- needs cgroupv2(grub cmdline and Delegate user service), slirp4netns for networking, fuse-overlayfs for storage
- set unqualified-search-registries = ["docker.io"] in /etc/containers/storage.conf for default searching to docker for kind
runc, crun, cri-o and conmon for monitoring the runtimes
needs ACLS set for rootless (zfs)
slirp4netns defaults to 10.0.2.100/24
- shares usernamespace with non root as 10.0.0.1 resolves
nvidia support with https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit
- edit /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/config.toml with no-cgroups = true and ldconfig = "/sbin/ldconfig" (when using –userns keep-id) for rootless
- add --hooks-dir=/usr/share/containers/oci/hooks.d/ --security-opt=label=disable --security-opt=label=type:nvidia_container_t -e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all to podman run
  - podman play kube BUG that does not map device IDs for nvidia gpus. use cli --device nvidia.com/gpu=all
    - may need sudo nvidia-ctk cdi generate --output=/etc/cdi/nvidia.yaml
podman-compose does not cleanup networks (docker_default) which uses dnsmasq with the old configuration; run podman network rm on subsequent runs
podman container runtime config for crun can be built with wasm-edge runtime support and used via module.wasm.image/variant=compat-smart annotation
podman load --log-level=debug for verbosity
- podman load can fail with a gzip'd exported docker image… so gzip -d first
dive to examine layers with dive --source podman docker.io/image
