Hello PLCnext community,
I was experimenting with Podman on PLCnext controllers (AXC F 2152). I noticed that is was impossible to use “overlay” storage driver when using Podman as the user “admin” instead of root. The only storage driver that I could get to work was “vfs”. This however caused a performance slowdown and made images consume disk space really quickly. Are there any recommendations for rootless containers? It seems that root user has a special config options.
Hello. Podman on PLCnext Control devices is still a work in progress, and it currently (a) only works properly with root access, and (b) is only supported for use by PLCnext Store apps.
There is currently work being done on allowing rootless access, but I cannot say when this will be possible.
