Comment on MicroOS: Rootless podman?
borax7385@lemmy.world 1 day agoWhich user do you use to run the podman command? Confirm with whoami
Note that the sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start can be used to allow non-root users to bind to ports <1024, this might be configured in MicroOS, I don’t know.

i’m definitely root, which is the sole default user on MicroOS for login, bash, etc.
it mostly strikes me as odd that MicroOS for containers would not have me setup a non-root user at install. trying to do it after install necessitates some hoop jumping to get podman to work correctly, which is making me wonder if MicroOS is really worth it at that point if it’s not ready to go after install.

If you want extra users I believe you can create them in ignition file, so that way they get created when MicroOS is deployed.
Basically anything you want as part of ‘default’ setup has to be configured via ignition file.

yeah, i did try that, but that part failed for some reason. the rest of the Ignition file was ok.
