how are you trying to run podman?

If you just want a similar setup as with docker I’ll recommend this:

https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/rootless_tutorial.md

Lingering (running services without login / after logout)

https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12001

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/462845/how-to-apply-lingering-immedeately#462867

sudo loginctl enable-linger 

https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/vendor/github.com/containers/storage/storage.conf

Check out the storage.conf to use the fuse-overlay driver.

I like podman-compose and i have a start up script that restarts all my containers at reboot, as my user.

Also use the full link to your images, like docker.io/image oder where ever you get your images from.

have fun :)

I use glance.

Yes all users that have containers running, that should keep running need lingering.

The Services do not restart themself. I have cronjob that executes podman start --all at reboot for my “podman user”.

I’m running podman and podman-compose with no problem. And I’m happy. At first I was confused by the uid and gid mapping the containers have, but you’ll get used to it.

This are some notes I took, please don’t take all of it for the right choice.

Podman-Stuff

storage.conf

To use the fuse-overlay driver, the storage must be configured:

.config/containers/storage.conf

[storage]
  driver = "overlay"
  runroot = "/run/user/1000"
  graphroot = "/home//.local/share/containers/storage"
  [storage.options]
    mount_program = "/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs"

Lingering (running services without login / after logout)

sudo loginctl enable-linger 

You don’t want the nextcloud to be public for everyone, then I’d go the tailscale route without a vps. Just connect your Server and phone.

If you want it to be public, then I’d still use tailscale and do it like the other comment suggested.

Reverse Proxy on vps connected to tailscale, proxzies the traffic through the tailnet to your server. That’s what I’m doing btw.

This is how I did it.

I recommend this: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/20_zigbee2mqtt-fails-to-start.html#method-1-give-your-user-permissions-on-every-reboot

with that and also read the tipp after that I was troubleshooting my permission issues.

This should apply to gpu too.

But does this matter if you just want this to be locally accessible and you’re running your own dns?

You need a wildcard cert for ypur subdoman:

*.legal.example.com

Then point that record to 127.0.0.0. This will not resolve for anyone. But you’ll have an internal dns enty (useig pihole/adguard/unbound) that redirects to your reverse proxy.

You could also point to your revers proxy internal address instead of 127.0.0.0.

Sorry I have no idea how traefik works, but I’ve seen that this new video ist out. It might help you.

Yes… That is also my understanding.

I do. If you run caddy with network_mode: hostor better with network_mode: "slirp4netns:port_handler=slirp4netns" it should work.

also adding:

cap_add:
      - net_admin
      - net_raw

Podman + Caddy does it for me.

You need to adjust the “minimum” port a user can bind. Podman tells you how to do it (or a quick google search).

I played with this problem too. In my case I wanted a zigbee usb to be passed through. I’m not sure if this procedure works with gpu though…

This was also needed to make it work: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/20_zigbee2mqtt-fails-to-start.html#method-1-give-your-user-permissions-on-every-reboot

devices:
      # Make sure this matched your adapter location
      - "/dev/ttyUSB.zigbee-usb:/dev/ttyACM0:rwm"

Also I passed my gpu to immich. But not 100% sure it is working. I’ve added my user to the render group and passed the gpu like the usb zigbee stick:

devices:
      - "/dev/dri:/dev/dri:rwm"  # If using Intel QuickSync

The immich image main user is root if imI remember correctly and all permissions that my podman user 1000 has are granted to the root user inside the container (at least this is how I understand it…)

For testing I used this: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/20_zigbee2mqtt-fails-to-start.html#verify-that-the-user-you-run-zigbee2mqtt-as-has-write-access-to-the-port It should be working with gpu too.

I can test stuff later on my server, if you need more help!

Hope this all makes sense 😅 please correct me if anything is wrong!

I’m sorry to hear that. But the dev points that out very clear on the docs etc.

From what we self hosters are used to, this does not happen often, but it can.

Hope you can recover!

Immich is very cool. Be carefull to read every release note and do not auto update. There are can be breaking changes! In total im happy with immich!

I understand this, but that way you always read the update notes and you control what version you install. This can be a good practice.

That stuff breaks is not so nice though.

I switched a year ago to podman and had some trouble to get everything running. But it is possible. I’m not running anything rootful and everything works.

Read the docs, use podman-compose (this sadly has no good docs, but works quit well when you got it) and get ready to play around with permissions and file ownership.

Podman does not start your containrs on boot. You need to do some magic yoursefel. Like a cronjob that starts all containers at boot.

I’m very happily running openhab!
