You need to allocate more IDs to your user.

Please take a look at the subuid(5) man page for more information on how to do it.

Thanks, I thought that is required when you actually run the container and here I struggling to even load the image.

How is this not a problem when pulled from a public repository but doesn't work when the same image is archived and loaded on another machine?

Kindly help me with an example of the solution. I haven't had any luck so far. Thanks!

Most likely the account on the second machine is not setup with enough UIDs/GIDs defined in its /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid files.

Since the two machines have distinct users, assigning the second machine's user the same range of sub UIDs as the first machine resolved the issue.
