Cannot run mongo using podman on silverblue

#1

Testing out the waters with silverblue and podman and hit this issue running rootless. I can seeminly run many other database systems via podman (mysql, mssql etc.) without issue but mongo will not run. I am running silverblue on hyperv on windows. Was able to boot a current version of ubuntu, install podman and run mongo with the same command so seems to be an issue with silverblue (or maybe fedora in general).

Also tried --privileged and same issue but sudo can start it up.

Have you tried comparing the versions between Ubuntu and Silverblue? Given that it works with sudo, I’d guess this might be an issue with rootless podman.

#3

Yes, there was a version difference and 1.5 not in the fedora repos yet but I built from source and same issue. Did also have the same issue on fedora workstation vm so not a silverblue issue but fedora in general. Seems rootless podman on ubuntu does use native overlayfs while others like fedora can only use fuse so may be related, going to open a issue on podman github I guess.

#4

In case anyone else has this or something similar. Found out it is a regression with fuse-overlayfs 0.5. Fixed in 0.5.1.
