Description reaves735 2021-12-14 22:15:09 UTC
Running catalyst in a podman container only works if running in privileged mode, fails in podman-build.

Example Containerfile:

```Containerfile
# This file creates the builder image used to create ReavesOS
# This image will be used by each stage to create seperate stage tarballs

FROM docker.io/gentoo/portage:latest AS portage

FROM docker.io/gentoo/stage3:amd64

COPY --from=portage /var/db/repos/gentoo /var/db/repos/gentoo

ENV ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"

RUN emerge --sync --ask n &&\
  emerge --ask n \
  --with-bdeps=y \
  --autounmask=y \
  --autounmask-continue \
  -j2 \
  -l2 \
  --quiet \
  dev-util/catalyst

RUN mkdir -pv /var/tmp/catalyst/{builds,kern{el,cache},packages,portage,snapshots,specs,tmp/repos/gentoo}

COPY configs/ /etc/catalyst/

WORKDIR /var/tmp/catalyst

```

What works:

`podman run -it --privileged localhost/catalyst catalyst -s latest`


What does NOT work:

`podman run -it localhost/catalyst catalyst -s latest`

NOR does this containerfile work

```Containerfile
FROM localhost/catalyst # example containerfile from above

COPY portage/ portage/
COPY specs/ specs/

RUN catalyst -s latest
```

Running in an unprivileged container gives the following error:
```

    raise OSError(e, os.strerror(e))
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
```

The error seems to be when calling the python wrapper to the 'unshare' syscall, but that's about all the info I have.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help

Comment 2 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2022-03-14 01:08:55 UTC
Yes, this is expected.

Patches welcome!
