Hey Colin, me again.. let me know if you want me to shut up. Btw, in regards to mounting, the reason why you need the '--privileged' flag is because of the SELinux context (it should be 'container_file_t'). With '--privileged' it will work, but you are essentially giving the container full access (even though its userspace, we always want to avoid giving unnecessary access). If you use the ':Z' option (/host/mount:/container/mount:Z) with the mount parameters it will take care of the labelling and you won't need to use '--privileged'. # podman run -d -v /home/cengland/containers/disk1:/mnt:Z httpd-server /bin/bash
Thank you so much for this two videos. You are a good trainer. All are very clear. This is my first experience of linux. I already booked the exam. Unfortunately they sent me the exam scheduling link yesterday. "after 18 days".(then already expired the extended period 5th Oct) and once i scheduled the exam, i enrolled automatically to new ex with 3 hours. Our institute didn't have recived the contents of this newly added topics to teach us. But, thanks to you, now i have a proper idea about main target topics and its configurations. Again thank you so much 👍👍👍👍
Tks a lot! After restart the host I haved problem to access the container httpd-server port 8080. To resolve I changed "Wants=syslog.service" to "After=syslog.service" in the file httpd-container.service.
Hi CSG, can we just use the "podman generate systemd" command instead of manually setting up a container to run as a service ? And also what's the purpose for making a service.d directory in the Dockerfile, wouldn't http auto create a .system file when you install it ? if left out would it cause issues ? Thanks again for the tut, as there isn't much tutorials on containers for the RHCSA.

Hi great vids. Really enjoy your content and its very helpful. I had a question on creating the systemd service file. Can you explain what the -a and the -t 2 mean for the ExecStart/Stop ? The container will not start without the -a and I can not find any info on it. Thanks.
man podman-start man podman-stop The information is there. --attach, -a Attach container's STDOUT and STDERR. The default is false. This option cannot be used when starting multiple containers. --time, -t=time Time to wait before forcibly stopping the container
I have seen some other videos in containers for the exam the tutorials contains the tutorials contains some contents on network management in containers does network management appears in the exam And also want to ask you... you are doing running service in a container and making a docker file and building your own image from the docker file what logic does it has ?
Hi there, as far as I know I don't see any section for networking at all. These are both requirements for the exam. By using a Dockerfile you can create your own custom images, that's pretty common as you probably want to have a customised image rather than using the default that doesn't have the correct files, certificate etc that's required for the production solution.

Hi. thank you so much for the video. i am currently using it as a reviewer for the exam. However, i happen to encounter an issue during podman run --privileged command, this error appears: error permission denied: OCI permission denied As per initial checking this may be an error on v3. i am currently on podman v4. Do you happen to know how to troubleshoot this error?
Thanks for sharing ! When i run a httpd image as root user on port 8080, it's working and i get the defaut content but with the same command as unprivilegied user i have no response. As i know, even as unpriviligied user the processes are executed as root inside the container. Any idea ?
Dear CSG, thank you for all your videos. I just returned from RHCSA exam attempt 1. There was a big section on Containers. I had prepared well, did many exercises with podman, however I have failed. The issue was at the very first out of a line of tasks: to pull image from repository. The image was called "rsyslogd-custom-cert" (perhaps there is a hint in the name) and I wasn't able to pull it from the repo. There was an error about "unable to read manifest". I've spent good 40 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong, but couldn't. And I still can't. And obviously I wasn't able to proceed any other task related to containers, given that I had no image pulled. Would you happen to know how to overcome "unable to read manifest" issue? Thanks again. J.
It might be worth raising with Red Hat to see if that was a legitimate problem with the exam. It generally means that the manifest is not available, it could also be internet access potentially?
I've had the same issue. You need to put rhel8 in between the lines they give you. So in the end it will be registry....../rhel8/image. You can also see the registry by clicking the link in the information page and logging with admin and the relative pws they give you

How to make the containers with Redhat distribution (Red Hat Universal Base Image) automatically subscribe to the Redhat account ? I say this because having to do the login command for each container, is a little uncomfortable.
Will this work also? # cd ~/.config/systemd/user # podman generate systemd --name (ContainerName) --files # systemctl --user enable --now container-(name).service
What worked from me (and allows you to skip from 8:10 to 15:30) is: podman generate systemd httpd-server > /etc/systemd/system/httpd-container.service systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start httpd-container.service

Thanks a million! I just noticed that you go over each objective! Immediate like and subscribed. Keep up the great work!
Thanks 👍

thanks for the video. Does the mount to local storage persist after a reboot? Or an entry into /etc/fstab is necessary.
If you add it to the startup scripts of the container then yes 👍

One thing left is scripting, I'm going to do a video on that next week.

How to make the containers with Redhat distribution (Red Hat Universal Base Image) automatically subscribe to the Redhat account ? I say this because having to do the login command for each container, is a little uncomfortable.
I would in your situation either script it on startup of the container or have a container image with it already subscribed. Hope this helps.
TIP for ALL if --priviledged option doesn't work then use ( :Z )
podmanr run -it -v host_dir:container_dir:Z ocker.io/library/httpd /bin/bash
Will this work also?
# cd ~/.config/systemd/user
# podman generate systemd --name (ContainerName) --files
# systemctl --user enable --now container-(name).service
What worked from me (and allows you to skip from 8:10 to 15:30) is:
