Which are the steps to reproduce?

CentOS 8 Stream
which uses podman and not docker

# podman version
Version:      3.4.1-dev
API Version:  3.4.1-dev
Go Version:   go1.16.7
Built:        Tue Oct 19 18:11:42 2021
OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

docker-compose 1.29.2

1. clone repo
2. edit WEBAPI_URL
3. comment /etc/timezone line
4. docker-compose up -d

What is the expected or desired behavior?

No error

[idc77]

Seems like "link" was deprecated by docker for years, but is still supported because it would break older setups.
But podman was being too smart again and dropped support for it.
So instead of using podman I'll have to try to remove podman and install docker-ce.

https://docs.docker.com/network/links/

Man I hate this shit.

So what I wrote here replacing podman with docker-ce is a workaround.
The FIX is to define networks and use those. And I don't use docker usually but when I played around with it, I stumbled upon the links issue and forgot about it since. You who actually use docker should be smarter and more up to date.
But why upgrade to latest when the legacy stuff still works, right?
