podman.socket is masked

[zakaria-chahboun]

I want to connect pods app with podman socket,

I did this:

systemctl enable --now --user podman.socket

I got:

Failed to enable unit: Unit file /etc/xdg/systemd/user/podman.socket is masked.

Then i did:

sudo systemctl enable --now podman.socket 

I got:

Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.

Any solution for this issue? Thanks 🌹

I have podman version 4.3.1

systemd units should not be masked by default so this likely something you did.
To unmask a unit use systemctl unmask ...

You may want to also check that your units match our upstream ones: https://github.com/containers/podman/tree/main/contrib/systemd/system

Thanks @Luap99 The issue was in the units, i Just replaced it with the https://github.com/containers/podman/tree/main/contrib/systemd/system and all things is good now!

Hey @zakaria-chahboun I have the exact same problem after doing sudo systemctl unmask podman.socket. Would you have any other clue on how to fix this? Thanks!
