The whole point is to post or interact with posts. It would be very quiet if everyone would only post but never comment. I think will try to create one medium to high effort post instead of a few low effort posts.

That is true. Maybe your post makes someone else aware he might enjoy this super niche hobby aswell!

Some communities don’t like clumsy or simple questions I had to learn. I was wondering why my question was getting no answers like usual and then the post was just gone without explanation or notification.

And thank you, I will try to be available for a few hours after posting but will not force it on me.

Yes maybe I should just give it some time and try some things out.

And like some else pointed out, sometimes you might feel uncomfortable in a certain community and you might have to look for an alternative on another instance.

Now I just need to know how to draw lol

Well it is always good to link a source but sometimes you just don’t have time or remember where you read it.

I think I have some niche interests but I am mostly getting started so I don’t have too much insight. Maybe some early findings or noob questions but I think most users will not enjoy that.

Confusion being the reason more often than trying to be mean is a good heads up for rookies like me. Don’t take it too personal, it’s supposed to be fun after all!

And don’t feed the trolls, a classic but often neglected technique from ancient internet times.

Thanks for the detailed opinion! Especially that some people find too many “Thank you” comments weird. And I mostly hesitate to paste links because I was unsure how much context is necessary. Next time I have a link with a short summary, maybe I will post it into the appropriate community.

Sometimes I see the same post cross-posted or even of the same community multiple times in my timeline and I am annoyed too. But I remember that this is just because there is not enough posts so that’s why I am here asking these questions!

But a lot boils down to being nice, curious and a bit active.

I read a comment somewhere that the full controller support and the readability of the text on a small 720p screen, which are necessary for a Steam Deck Verified badge, are not necessary for the Steam Machine. Because it is more like a traditional PC this makes sense imo.

When I run the compose file with bind mount ./data and no :Z label I get these results:

ls -la yields the currently logged in user as owner of the data directory.

podman unshare ls -la yields root as owner of the data directory.

So do you think this is the basis of the problem?

I checked the tutorial and setting the private label :Z worked when using $HOME/… as bind mount. For named volumes from podman itself that was not necessary, it worked out of the box.

Like I said the dev used bind mounts so I sticked with that but he was probably using docker so he didn’t have this problem.

This solved it when using a bind mount! The other option is using named volumes which also works without errors.

On a different note, can I ask you where you learned about Quadlets. It seems the tutorials are still very sparse.

With the getenfore command from kumi below I get Enforcing so I guess I use SELinux.

I now have two working options. a) Using named volumes (I’m still unsure if this is the way to go or not, generally speaking) and b) using the private label :Z for the bind mount.

Without :Z podman unshare yields root:root for the data directory. After setting the label it is a different user alltogether.

getenforce gives me Enforcing. And I think I have SELinux. I had a look at this tutorial https://www.tutorialworks.com/podman-rootless-volumes/ suggested by another commenter and after running podman unshare ls -al in the folder with the bind mount it returns root root as the owner of the directory. So as far as I understand this means for the podman namespace this folder belongs to root? Like I said in my edit using named volumes solved the issue in on way. I just tried the :Z label too and it seems to work too. So it was probably a SELinux issue?

I was unsure if I installed docker on this machine so I ran docker-compose and the help page showed up (another one than for podman-compose). Then I queried my installed packages and grepped them for docker and nothing shows up. Only podman-compose has docker in the description. So I accidentaly used that compatibility layer already without knowing.

But one reason I consider to switch is because compose files are not really standardized I heard and quadlets are structured like systemd files so I seems more applicable. But that is still a long way.

I went on and tried something else and when using named volumes (the dev uses bind mounts in his compose file) everything works without errors.

I tried to use named volumes and now everything works fine, weird.

IIRC you have to use the “Export as” option instead of the “Save as” for a .pdf file.

You could also think about Lunati modding because it uses Lua for this, an easy-to-use programming language. https://docs.luanti.org/for-creators/creating-mods/

A wise person.
