podman-container-yaml

Kubernetes YAML files and Ansible playbooks for use with Podman Linux System Role The system role is documented here: https://github.com/linux-system-roles/podman

Requirements/pre-requisites

• Ansible installed
• Podman 4.2 or newer installed

Follow the instructions in requirements.yml to install the relevant Ansible pre-requisites.

Use

Kubernetes spec files are defined with names like pod-<container name>.yml

Ansible playbooks are defined with names like run-<container name>.yml

Execute the playbook by running: ansible-playbook podman-<container name>.yml --ask-become-pass or similar

Quadlet use

Key info from https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/multi-container-application-podman-quadlet Also great info if you run man podman-systemd.unit

Steps for a rootless container

1. Create a kubernetes spec file called .kube
2. Copy the file to ~/.config/containers/systemd/
3. Run loginctl enable-linger <user>
4. Check that lingering is enabled loginctl show-user <user>
5. Run systemctl --user daemon-reload
6. Check the service with systemctl --user status <filename>.service
7. Don't forget to enable any firewall ports that need to be enabled

Ben's Home Assistant container Bluetooth config

Rough notes on getting Bluetooth working here for posterity

1. NOT REQUIRED edit the bluetooth.conf to allow me as a user all the relevant privileges?

2. sudo chown -R bblasco:bblasco /home/bblasco/.local/share/containers/storage/volumes/h3-config/ This is due to the following bug: "podman run is not honoring --userns=keep-id --user=1000:1000 settings while creating volumes" containers/podman#16741

3. Make the relevant SELinux changes on the system

   1. You see something like this in /var/log/audit/audit.log: type=USER_AVC msg=audit(1683117204.775:2041): pid=817 uid=81 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc: denied { send_msg } for scontext=system_u:system_r:bluetooth_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:spc_t:s0 tclass=dbus permissive=0 exe="/usr/bin/dbus-broker" sauid=81 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'UID="dbus" AUID="unset" SAUID="dbus"
   2. Check what the issue is:

type=USER_AVC msg=audit(1683117372.225:2274): pid=817 uid=81 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc:  denied  { send_msg } for  scontext=system_u:system_r:bluetooth_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:spc_t:s0 tclass=dbus permissive=0 exe="/usr/bin/dbus-broker" sauid=81 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'UID="dbus" AUID="unset" SAUID="dbus"

        Was caused by:
                Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule.

                You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access.

3. Generate the module:

[root@opti ~]# grep tooth /var/log/audit/audit.log | tail -1 | audit2allow -a -M bluetooth_homeassistant

To make this policy package active, execute:

semodule -i bluetooth_homeassistant.pp
