Troubleshooting

Updated Jul 14, 2026
  • Podman pull failures – Ensure the host has network access and the target image reference is valid. Review Podman's stderr output for registry errors.
  • Missing execution backends – Install bubblewrap or proot to avoid requiring root privileges for chroot. On Fedora, for example, run dnf install bubblewrap proot.
  • Permission errors – Use a writable store directory. The defaults point to /var/tmp, which typically supports world-writable storage.
