Unable to properly configure working version of podman.

[gabrielpantiru]

I am trying to use podman on my local machine however I cannot get it to work properly.

First try with normal windows installer:

After installing when trying to "Play pods from a KUbernetes YAML File" I get this error:
"Error: (HTTP code 500) server error - playing YAML file: initializing source docker://redis:latest: pinging container registry registry-1.docker.io: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": dial tcp: lookup registry-1.docker.io: Temporary failure in name resolution"

For this I made sure to have the latest wsl (v2) and even tried to update /etc/resolv.conf file in it to 8.8.8.8 but did not worked.
The podman-config.yaml file from this tests: apiVersion: v1 kind: Pod metadata: name: my-pod41 spec: containers: - name: postgres image: postgres:latest env: - name: POSTGRES_PASSWORD value: POSTGRES_PASSWORD - name: POSTGRES_USER value: POSTGRES_USER - name: POSTGRES_DB value: POSTGRES_DB ports: - containerPort: 5432 hostPort: 5434 - name: nats image: nats:2.9.14-alpine

Second try with installer for restricted environments:

there is a error saying that I need WSL version to be greater than 1.2.5 but lower it says that wsl2 is installed.

When I try to run the command wsl --version it displays the help part of the command, probably since it doesnt recognize the version part.

Can anyone help me with this? Do I need to have version 1 and 2 installed as well?

Obs:

1. With the installer for restricted enviroments, I was able to pull remote images Eg: redis(Container Engine option did not appeared in this case). I was not able to run the pods because podman was not installed.

2. With normal installer even when i try to pull a image the container engine appears Podman Machine but I get the error: "Error while pulling image from Podman Machine: access to image "redis" is denied (500 error). Can also be that the registry requires authentication."

If i try to pull the image by selecting docker as Container Engine instead of Podman Machine it is working properly

I need to run any version that will allow me to run 3 containers from a yaml file ( redis, nats and postgres) to make a demo for podman as an alternative to docker. I have no vpn while making these tests.

Anyone can offer some guidance ?

This looks like it is a podman desktop issue.

@ljnszu @gabrielpantiru can you please provide more informations? What's your version of podman (podman machine info and podman info output)? And what about the hosting OS (Windows right? What version/build?)?

And from what I understand there are 2 distinct problems:

1. Play kube fails because podman cannot connect to docker.io: can you try running podman play kube podman-config.yaml from a windows terminal and share the output?
2. Podman installation is not allowed because the wrong version of WSL is detected: can you try to download and install podman-setup.exe and share the result?

Hi, I use windows 11 and wsl2 .I had installed docker for windows and used it correct before

Yesterday, I wanted to try podman and install podmanpodman-desktop-airgap-1.11.1-setup-x64.exe. It's ok to install podman-setup.exe and podman machine until I tryed to pulled the container image and displayed the message like that

Error while pulling image from Podman Machine: access to image "redis" is denied (500 error). Can also be that the registry requires authentication.

I'm sorry that I didn't leave a screenshot. After that, I quited to try podman and turn back to use docker for windows. It's weird that my docker for windows started to reported error like this, not matter I uninstall podman and docker for window re-install.

starting services: initializing Docker API Proxy: setting up docker api proxy listener: open \\.\pipe\docker_engine: Access is denied.

the final solution is kill the process proxy, I don't know who involved.
docker/for-win#13663 (comment)

So the conclusion is this, it seems that there will be problems with the coexistence of docker for windows and podman and you can only choose one.
