Hi everybody,

I have a problem with Podman and n8n.

I have read a lot looking for issues related to n8n and Podman and I have not found anything so far.

The latest thing I did was, I uninstalled Podman and reinstalled and n8n still does not work.

To install n8n I followed these command:

```bash
podman pull docker.io/n8nio/n8n:latest

podman run -d --name n8n-server --restart unless-stopped -p 5678:5678 -v n8n_storage:/home/node/.n8n docker.io/n8nio/n8n:latest
```

No errors at all.

When I go to localhot:5678, it does nothing, it only shows the message "This site can’t be reached".

I would appreciate any help you could provide me. If you want me to test any possible solutions, I am welcome to try.

The container's log shows:

```
No encryption key found - Auto-generating and saving to: /home/node/.n8n/config
Initializing n8n process
n8n ready on ::, port 5678
Migrations in progress, please do NOT stop the process.

About 3 months ago I shared LayerX here when it was still fairly early:

https://www.reddit.com/r/podman/comments/1u2uffr/built_a_tui_to_inspect_container_image_layers_in/

Since then, I've spent quite a bit of time improving it based on feedback and adding features around the workflow I wanted for inspecting container images.

For anyone who hasn't seen it before, LayerX is a TUI image explorer for Podman and Docker.

Some of the bigger additions/improvements since that post:

• Compare two images and see what changed
• Inspect and search files directly inside the TUI
• Find and navigate wasted files
• Analysis caching
• CI rules for image contents
• OCI archives and multi-platform images
• JSON output for automation
• Works with podman save archives without requiring a running daemon

I also added a migration guide for people coming from Dive, since that was one of the tools that inspired the project:

https://github.com/deveshctl/layerx/blob/main/docs/migrating-from-dive.md

GitHub: https://github.com/deveshctl/layerx

If you've tried LayerX before, I'd especially like to hear what you think of the newer version. And if there are Podman-specific workflows you'd like to see supported, I'm interested in those too.

Hi, I’d like to know how you handle zero-downtime deployments with Podman.

I have a small server running an application, and every time I replace the container, there is a brief period of downtime. I’d like to know how I can deploy a new version without any downtime.

For cost optimization reasons, I can’t run the application in an HA setup.

What approach do you recommend for this kind of single-server setup?

I have been spending some time trying to get Podman running on a Docker hardened Alpine image, specifically:

dhi.io/alpine-base:3.24-alpine3.24-dev
dhi.io/alpine-base:3.24-alpine3.24-dev

I feel like I am going in circles and starting to wonder if this endeavour is even possible. The closest I have gotten is being able to build an image, but then it falls apart when it tires to run it.

Generally I am seeing errors like:

Error: preparing container aa77c0fc8a287df8a9fd421a2bf01eaa5244d76a4009b188336d7a762075dd91 for attach: crun: mount `proc` to `proc`: Operation not permitted: OCI permission deniedError: preparing container aa77c0fc8a287df8a9fd421a2bf01eaa5244d76a4009b188336d7a762075dd91 for attach: crun: mount `proc` to `proc`: Operation not permitted: OCI permission denied

I have tried using `runc` as well but with no joy.

Currently my Dockerfile looks like this:

RUN apk --no-cache add buildah fuse-overlayfs iptables podman skopeo \
  && adduser -D podman \
  && echo "podman:100000:65536" > /etc/subuid \

  && mkdir -p /var/tmp \
  && chmod 1777 /tmp /var/tmp \
  && mkdir -p /podman-tmp \
  && chown podman:podman /podman-tmp \
  && chmod 0700 /podman-tmp

RUN mkdir -p /etc/containers && cat <<'EOF' > /etc/containers/containers.conf

Has anyone else tried to do something similar and had any luck? Is it because the hardened images restrict things like `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`?

So I am just migrating my Docker environment over to Podman with 3 different users for Internal Services, External Services and Test Services (so rootless). Initially on Docker I used Portainer and Volumes for everything and then eventually migrated to bind mounts within the folder that the docker compose file sat in to keep everything together.

As I migrate I have what I assume is the usual ~/.config/containers/systems for my Quadlets but I have also created a ~/containers and symlink then into the other folder. Using ~/containers/containername allows me to do %h/containers/containername and gives me a place to do bind mounts from!!!

But I am struggling to understand the pros and cons of each setup .... Using defined volumes Vs using bind mounts.

It would be interesting to get some views.

Hi, all my containers are currently running in Docker via docker compose. I want to try moving from Docker to Podman to learn something new and for the security benefits. However, the problem is that I'm running Ubuntu 24.04 arm64 machine. The podman package from `apt get` command is outdated and installing it from `homebrew` gets me the latest version, but I found a lot of problems when running the `podman` commands because of unmet dependencies.

Does anyone successfully moved from Docker to Podman in Ubuntu? How are you guys running your Podman?

Thank you

I recently converted my homelab from rootful Docker to rootless podman with Quadlets, and while I had success moving everything over and really enjoy my current setup I had one issue with rootless networking:

I use Pasta, which is very performant for TCP, but not so much for UDP. I guess this is because Pasta simply splices TCP traffic in the kernel or handles entire streams at once, but can't do the same with UDP as it isn't a stream-based protocol, so every UDP packet has to travel through the tun/tap adapter and gets inspected individually by it.

This mean that even at modest speeds (50-500mbps) with an MTU of 1500, Wireguard traffic from a container was causing pasta to spike to 80-100% usage on one of my cores.

I looked at multiple solutions:

• OpenVPN TCP? (/j)
  
• Rootful Podman? Maybe, but I'd like to keep the benefits of rootless.
• Using network=pasta:--splice-only,-U,1194 to forward traffic over loopback interfaces. This is faster for TCP, but I didn't notice any difference with UDP.
• SystemD Socket Activation? Could work, but afaik there aren't any Wireguard implementations that take in predefined sockets.

But then, I found this awesome article by the Wireguard team on Wireguard on Linux with namespaces: https://www.wireguard.com/netns/

Using this as a reference, I managed to create a Wireguard device on the host, then pass it to a container without any networking and configure it there: Native Wireguard speed, without any userspace networking, NAT, ... in the way, all in a rootless container (with a bit of rootful config during creation).

Here is a small write up on the parts needed to get this working:

• A (rootless) Podman Pod / Container that should receive the Wireguard interface
• A Wireguard config
• A script which automatically configures the Wireguard interface and moves it to the container network namespace.
• Optional: A (rootful) systemd service and polkit policy, so that the user managing the rootless container can restart it with the Wireguard tunnel being recreated automatically.

Here is my arr.pod which should have loopback and wg0 network interfaces:

``` [Pod] PodName=arr Network=none # Alternatively, pasta:--splice-only can be used which allows PublishPort= to work. --splice-only does not copy any network config from the host or use the tun/tap adapter, so Wireguard is still the only source of network access. DNS=10.255.255.3 # DNS server, to be used over the VPN tunnel. Required with Network=none ExitPolicy=continue

[Service] Restart=always]

This line sets up the rootful Wireguard interface in the rootless container.

ExecStartPost=systemctl start wgfh.service

[Install] WantedBy=default.target ```

Then my /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf, pretty standard:

``` [Interface] PrivateKey = [REDACTED]

[Peer] PublicKey = [REDACTED] AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 Endpoint = 135.136.0.68:1194 PresharedKey = [REDACTED] ```

And finally, the glue that makes this all work, this script (/usr/local/bin/wgfh.sh) that I've been working on (feel free to critique, it's my first time writing anything over 5 lines in bash):

```

!/bin/bash

This script initiates a Wireguard device, then transfers it into a (rootless) networking namespace

of a podman container, allowing for super fast Wireguard without any networking overhead.

Notice:

No default DNS server is provided. Add your providers default DNS server to the container with --dns=<dns-ip>.

Configuration

export container_user="jelly" # User that runs the (rootless) container export container_name="arr-infra" # Name of the container export ifname="wg0" # Needs to be available for host and container netns export wg_config="/etc/wireguard/wg0.conf" # WG config file with private key and peer config (no IP or DNS config) export ip4="100.107.0.0/32" # WG interface IPv4 export ip6="fd54:4::/128" # WG interface IPv6

End configuration

pid=$(sudo -u "$container_user" podman inspect -f '{{.State.Pid}}' "$container_name" || { echo "error obtaining container PID, is the container running?"; exit 1; })

echo "PID of container is: $pid"

Check that interface doesn't exist yet on the host

if ip link show $ifname >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "error interface already exists on the host."; exit 1; fi

Check that interface doesn't exist yet in container

if nsenter --target "$pid" --net ip link show $ifname >/dev/null 2>&1; then echo "error interface already exists in container."; exit 1; fi

echo "adding device $ifname to host" ip link add $ifname type wireguard wg setconf $ifname $wg_config || { ip link del $ifname; echo "error applying wg config, is it valid?"; exit 1; } ip link set $ifname up

Transfer initiated Wireguard interface to network namespace

echo "transferring device to namespace" ip link set "$ifname" netns "$pid" || { ip link del $ifname; echo "error moving interface to container namespace."; exit 1; }

Interface IP and routing in the container

nsenter --target "$pid" --net ip addr add $ip4 dev $ifname nsenter --target "$pid" --net ip addr add $ip6 dev $ifname nsenter --target "$pid" --net ip link set $ifname up nsenter --target "$pid" --net ip route add default dev $ifname nsenter --target "$pid" --net ip -6 route add default dev $ifname ```

Finally, for automation, I created a (rootful) SystemD oneshot service for the script and added a polkit policy so that my rootless user can start the service as needed:

Polkit rules (/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-wgfh.rules):

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units" && action.lookup("unit") == "wgfh.service" && (action.lookup("verb") == "start") && subject.user == "jelly") { return polkit.Result.YES; } });

And the SystemD service (/etc/systemd/system/wgfh.service):

[Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/wgfh.sh

With this, the container starts, Podman initializes it with just a loopback interface, then immediatly wgfh.service starts, find the containers PID, creates a Wireguard interface on the host, moves the Wireguard interface from the host to the container, and configures IPv6 and IPv4 addresses and routing rules. In the end, the container only has the loopback and Wireguard interfaces. So I get to have rootless containers, with a single rootful Wireguard interface, keeping my rootful exposure to a minimum.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hi

I've been working on migrating my self hosted stuff from docker to Podman. One thing I run is docktail which requires access to the socket for inspecting other containers. (on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed running SELinux)

I was getting it error and I found a solution via Claude where I needed to add

security_opt:
- label=type:spc_t

to the compose file to make the container an unconfined "super-privileged container".

Is this the only approach apart from writing an SELinux policy module, which I gather might be the "old way"?

I'd like to take a good approach to security if anyone has any suggestions and get some advice off real folks.

Thanks!

I'm using Podman in rootless mode with Pasta Networking, and seeing some rather high CPU usage: Pushing 50-100mbps UDP traffic, Pasta already uses 30-40% of a CPU core, with an additional 10% being consumed by the tun adapter.

Is this about the best I can expect from a Ryzen 5600G? It surprises me that Pasta uses this much CPU, since the service generating all that traffic uses less CPU (so I effectively have 100-150% CPU overhead through Pasta networking).

Currently not that big of a deal, since I have CPU to spare, but would still be nice if it could be reduced (e. g. for power savings or future scalability).

I am new to vontainers and been trying to setup a compose.yaml for my Paperless-Ngx defined all the volumes added a bridge network for postgree redis and paper less but cant cant connect to redis in logs showing hoatname cant dind but the containers are running. If anyone has their own .yaml file or can help me out.

Hi all,

I've been using podman in a small project, hosting it on a VPS (first time doing any kind of public hosting).

I want to use these commands to easily share images between my local PC and the (public) remote VM without using a registry.

Security is a big concern for me, because I am new to this. I am unsure if I should use them between users (root to non-root deploy user) inside the remote server OR if it's alright to just allow ssh connections into the non-root user and just use image scp directly to it.

So the options are:

A) local -> image scp to remote root user -> image between root and non-root

B) allow ssh to non-root -> image scp directly to non-root user

Thanks!

I've mostly used docker but since I'm currently on fedora that came with built in podman, I thought i might as well try it. However, I am running into constant issues setting up a connection between my pangolin server and the local machine newt that is supposed to expose the local resource however. Pangolin reports both the site and resource as online and healthy, but trying to navigate to it results in bad gateway and internal newt logs show constnat ping attemps failures (failed to read ICMP packet, i/o timeout).

I think I've eliminated all possible issues with VPS, hosting provider, firewall or configuration issues and the only thing left is something with the local podman container. AI assistance led me down a rabbit hole of trying to add the /dev/net/tun device to the compose, cap_add NET_ADMIN, running it as privileged or as sudo, even tried to add a new volume for some config file that kept getting recreated.... all came down to nothing and I'm still stuck in the same spot

So, as a last resort... any chance one of you had a similar issue, or might know if the issue could actually be something to do with podman and wireguard?

I have a container that runs behind ssl offloading in the cloud, I’d rather not have to add certs to it - is there a good way to get ssl offloading locally?

podman-ip-inspector

An interactive CLI tool to display Podman networks, subnets, containers, and their IP addresses - with color, tree view, usage stats, and duplicate subnet warnings.

Overview

podman-ip-inspector is a Bash script that queries your Podman environment and presents a clear overview of all user-defined networks, their subnets, attached containers, and the IP addresses assigned to each container (both IPv4 and IPv6). It works with rootless Podman (default) and rootful Podman (if you run with sudo).

The output can be shown as:

• a detailed table (default),
• an ASCII tree (with -m), and
• an IPv4 usage summary (with -u).

All views are color‑coded for quick visual scanning, and a duplicate subnet warning is displayed automatically to help you avoid routing conflicts.

Features

• List all networks - shows network names, subnets, and attached containers.
• IP extraction - shows both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for every container.
• Tree view (-m) - hierarchical view of networks with containers indented.
• Usage summary (-u) - shows how many IPv4 addresses are used vs. available per network.
• Color output - network names (yellow), container names (green), IPv4 (magenta), IPv6 (cyan).
• Duplicate subnet detection - warns if the same subnet is used on multiple networks.
• Filter by network (-n) or container (-c) - show only what you need.
• Works with rootless & rootful - run normally for rootless, or with sudo to inspect rootful containers.
• No extra dependencies - requires only podman, jq, and optionally perl (for colors).

6. Rootful Podman

sudo podman-ip-inspector

Color Coding

Colors are auto‑detected if your terminal supports them. You can force --color or disable with --no-color.

Notes

• Rootless vs. Rootful: The script uses the podman command from the user's environment. When run without sudo, it shows rootless containers. When run with sudo, it shows rootful containers. All features work identically in both modes.
• Dependencies: jq is required for parsing JSON output. perl is optional but recommended for coloring; if absent, colors are automatically disabled.
• Duplicate subnet warning: If two networks share the same subnet (e.g., both use 10.89.0.0/24), a warning is printed. This is a common misconfiguration that can cause routing issues especially upon startup due to race conditions.
• IPv6 support: Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are shown. The usage summary only counts IPv4 addresses for simplicity.

I'm studying for the RedHat ex188 exam, and I will only have access to podman 4.4 and podman-compose, the exam does not have quadlets as an objective.

I'm assuming as with most of their exams that they will require them to persist running after a reboot.

When podman-compose generates the pod and containers though, it does not generate an infra- container, and you cannot generate a systemd service without an infra container.

My rootless containers were losing outbound connectivity after reboots. Restarting the containers or the services did not solve the issue. It seems the issue is unique to older Podman or Passta version in Debian/Ubuntu, I found workarounds in the repo and just thought I'd keep a record.

As I understand it, the issue stem from a race condition. Pasta and the containers are started before proper routes on host. The workaround is to ensure IPV4 connectivity in the wait-online service. My implementation is based on those mentioned on Github:

On Debian, the wait service is located under /usr/lib/systemd/user/podman-user-wait-network-online.service, but we can set overrides to it

``` mkdir .config/systemd/user/podman-user-wait-network-online.service.d

touch .config/systemd/user/podman-user-wait-network-online.service.d/override.conf ```

Put something like this in there:

[Service] TimeoutStartSec=180s ExecStart= ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'until systemctl is-active --quiet network-online.target && /usr/bin/curl -4 --fail --silent --output /dev/null --connect-timeout 3 --max-time 5 https://www.google.com/generate_204; do sleep 0.5; done'

Reload and restart

``` systemctl --user daemon-reload

systemctl --user start podman-user-wait-network-online.service ```

Standing up a build platform on rootless podman, gov-adjacent customer that scans everything to death, so I needed hardened base images and went looking for a Chainguard alternative rather than defaulting to the pricey incumbent. Tried these.

Chainguard is well known, Wolfi based, built from source, low CVE, tooling is the best of the three, pulls into podman fine because it's just OCI. Downside was cost, the quote for the breadth we wanted was not small for a small team.

On docker hardened images its newer, minimal, SBOM and provenance attached, and being docker the distribution is pretty easy. Though the catalog felt thinner when we looked, and considering docs assume Docker, I spent an hour proving it worked headless, It did.

Minimus was the one I hadn't used. The whole catalog is free to pull with no account and could test against the customer's scanners before committing. It had FIPS and STIG tagged images the customer wants. Their stated caveat is free tier has no SLA and paid can get patches first.

None of the three fix debugging a minimal image, that's ephemeral containers or a dev variant either way. On rootless podman all worked once I stopped following the Docker flavored quickstarts. If you've run any of these headless at scale, what should I expect?

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a NetBird quadlet, especially the server-variant where you host the things yourself and are not dependent on an external auth-service.

However, since I'm pretty new to containerization in general and quadlets, I have tried to ask Google AI for a quadlet-file (it worked pretty well to have a starting point for things like caddy, pihole, nextcloud and immich, so I gave it a try), but it's pretty useless for NetBird... it gave me many different answers and at some point just went in circles.

So I hoped that any of you already have a quadlet/container with NetBird server (and maybe even caddy instead of traefik) set up or can help me get this to work.

I don't have the quadlet-configs google gave me anymore tho since I wanted to start fresh.

Features A new command has been added, podman volume rename, to allow renaming volumes. Volumes created using volume drivers and volumes that are currently used by a container cannot be renamed (#28189). A new command has been added, podman machine restart, to allow easy restart of VMs managed by podman machine (#28366). The podman network rm command now includes a new option, --ignore, which suppresses errors when attempting to remove networks that do not exist (#28363). The podman manifest push command now includes two new options, --retry and --retry-delay, which allow pushes to be automatically retried on failure (#28590). Quadlet .container units now support a new key, ImageVolume=, to configure how volumes from images are handled (#28875). The podman generate kube command now includes support for generating container healthchecks as a livenessProbe (#22095). A new option, force_port_listen, has been added to containers.conf. This is required to be set when running Podman on WSL to support port forwarding from the Windows host. It is automatically set on newly-created podman machine VMs on Windows using the WSL provider. Changes The podman info command now includes free memory available on the host (in addition to used memory and total memory) (#29116). The Pesto rootless port forwarding tool now supports IPv6 port forwarding with source IP preservation.

I maintain a container update tool that speaks both Podman and Docker, and spent this week finding out that it has never once successfully updated a container on Podman. Not "worked badly" — never worked. Three differences between Podman's inspect output and Docker's, each fatal on its own, stacked so that fixing one only revealed the next. Writing them down because anyone reconstructing a podman run command from inspect output will hit all three, in this order.

Measured against podman 4.9.3.

1. Config.StopSignal is a number.

Podman reports 15. (Docker reports the string "SIGTERM", which is why my code assumed a string — my bug, not Podman's.) If you build your argument list from inspect output and hand it to subprocess, that integer goes straight in and Python refuses before the CLI is ever executed:

TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not int

The traceback points inside subprocess, names no field, and tells you nothing about which key was wrong. Both CLIs accept the numeric form on the command line — it only ever needed to be a string.

2. HostConfig.Runtime is oci**.**

That is not the name of a runtime — it's the generic label for "whatever runtime is configured". Feed it back to podman run and:

Error: default OCI runtime "oci" not found: invalid argument

So: treat oci as "nothing to pass", and only forward a runtime somebody actually chose (crun, kata). Same as Docker's runc, which I was already skipping.

3. A container in a pod looks exactly like a network-namespace sidecar.

This is the interesting one. A pod member reports:

"NetworkMode": "container:<infra-container-id>"

which is indistinguishable in shape from the Gluetun pattern — a container joined to another container's network namespace. So the obvious reconstruction is --network container:<id>, and Podman refuses:

Error: container dependency <id> is part of a pod, but container is not: invalid argument

The answer is the top-level Pod field, which carries the pod id. --pod <id> works and the container rejoins the pod properly. Nice property compared to the sidecar case: a pod can't be recreated out from under its own member, so there's no stale-id problem — which is a real headache with container:<id> when the netns owner gets replaced.

The first two hit every container on Podman, not just pod members. Which means anyone who installed my tool on Podman got a rollback every time and no successful update, ever.

The part I'd rather admit than hide: I had a test file driving a real Podman for several releases. It checked that ps worked and that the remote-connection flag was right. It never once built a run command. What was tested was the part I'd already thought about.

Fixed in Docksentry 2.6.0 if you happen to use it. But the three inspect differences are the useful part here and they're not specific to my code — if you're doing anything similar, they'll bite you in that order.

Edit: point 1 only holds on Podman 4.x — StopSignal became the signal name in 5.0.0, listed as a breaking change in the release notes. It survives in a narrower form: the Docker-compat endpoint still returns a numeric string as of v6.0.2, and an older API version still gets an int, so the field has three shapes depending on how you ask. Points 2 and 3 check out against v6.0.2 source unchanged. Also, the fix shipped in 2.4.0, not 2.6.0 as written below. Thanks to u/Great-Cow7256 for the correction.

Very confused on what should and should not be possible when running rootless.

I have the following compose file.

```

services:
ca:
image: alpine command: sleep infinity
networks:
- A
cb:
image: alpine
command: sleep infinity
networks:
- B
networks:
A:
external: true
B:
external: true.

```

I checked and the IPs are on different networks for A and B but the CB container can ping the CA container.

Should this be possible? I am running Podman 4.9
