I have a fresh CentOS 8 machine. Not knowing about "podman" I installed docker: yum install docker. This actually installs podman 1.0.5.

I can't run any images:

devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % podman run -it --rm alpine sh
error creating libpod runtime: Error running podman info while refreshing state: exit status 1
devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % sudo podman run -it --rm alpine sh
container create failed: cannot specify gid= mount options for unmapped gid in rootless containers
: internal libpod error

I understand /etc/sub?id can be related to this:

devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % cat /etc/subuid
garyo:100000:65536
devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % cat /etc/subgid
garyo:100000:65536
devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % ls -l /etc/sub?id
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Jan 10 15:32 /etc/subgid
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19 Jan 10 15:32 /etc/subuid

Googling around I figured I need to install some other stuff:

sudo dnf install -y @container-tools

that installs buildah, ocio-umount, and skopeo, but nothing changes. I rebooted after that as well.

I'm not sure what to do next. I've used docker for years but not podman. Maybe I missed a config step?

It looks like there may be some fixes in later versions of podman, but on this machine I don't want to install all the build tools and dependencies to build podman from scratch.

Oh, here's my podman info:

devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % podman info
ERRO[0000] cannot setup namespace using newuidmap: exit status 1 
devrisenshine2 [wiretap_wrapper] % sudo podman info

What might I be missing?
