running postgresql image with podman failed

Question

When running postgresql alpine image with podman :

podman run --name postgres -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test -e POSTGRES_USER=test -d postgres:11-alpine

the result is :

Error: /usr/bin/slirp4netns failed: "open(\"/dev/net/tun\"): No such device\nWARNING: Support for sandboxing is experimental\nchild failed(1)\nWARNING: Support for sandboxing is experimental\n"

The running system is archlinux. Is there a way to fix this error or a turn arround ?

Thanks

What are the versions of podman and slirp4netns? I recall there was a similar bug with device nodes for unprivileged containers, and it was fixed some time ago... — Danila Kiver

I assume you upgraded Arch packages recently. Most likely your system needs a restart.

After podman 2.2.1 update and system reboot, the problem was fixed. Thx to all.

@Ruddy32 if restart solved your problem, how about accepting the answer?

Is slirp4netns correctly installed? Check the project Site for information.
Sometimes the flag order matters. try -d first and -p last (directly infornt of the image) looking like:
- podman run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test -e POSTGRES_USER=test -p 5432:5432 postgres:11-alpine
Try only creating the neccessary password, then log into your container and create manually (this always worked for me)
1. podman run -d --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=test -p 5432:5432 postgres:11-alpline
  1. podman exec -it postgres bash
  2. Create default user postgres
    - su - postgres
  3. start postgres
    - psql
  4. create databases and tables
    - CREATE USER testuser WITH PASSWORD 'testpassword' | Doku
    - CREATE DATABASE testdata WITH OWNER testuser
  5. Check if it worked
    - \l+
2. Connect to your Database via IP and Port
