Even a `--privileged` rootless podman container is unable to do some operations. If `podman_rootful` is set `true` (default false) then `/run/podman/podman.socket` What cannot be done in a privileged rootless container ? Obvious one is install kernel modules for instance. The vast majority of modules will be fine with rootless containers and its much closer to what folk typically run on the their laptops so the current default makes a sensible default.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should we skip the action above if rootful is true? We don't need a system- and a user- service

While this works on my laptap if I set up the podman socket this way it unfortunately hangs when trying the SSH into the container in CI. voxpupuli/puppet-cvmfs#230 |
