Podman scopes

[bugi353]

Hi, I am learning podman and using it with oracle linux and gitlab-runner stuff. As i know gitlab-runner run scripts as user gitlabrunner in system. I also prepared scripts for deploying my app. When i deploy app from system level as gitlabrunner using sudo -u gitlabrunner script_name and the run sudo -u gitlabrunner podman ps or other commands I can communicate with containers but when i try to do this from gitlab scripts I don't see this in user scope. Also i can't communicate with container via podman exec .... I want to add that I run podman containers in rootless mode as root inside container. I found a solution to most of the problems I encountered, but I can't find solution or cause of this.

Could this be a linger issue? @giuseppe @mheon WDYT?

Probably - the use of sudo -u exclusively makes me agree. I assume that the user in question did not have loginctl enable-linger run?

Any chance you can provide the information from the bug reporting template (podman info, podman version, what OS you are using, etc)?

Unfortunately I currently don't have access to this machine but i will check it on my other oracle linux server and I will reproduce it but also will check and dive into this loginctl linger issue. Thank you for response.

I checked it on my another oracle linux server and enable-linger for gitlab-runner solved problem. Now i can see all containers from both levels and succesfully run podman exec for containers by gitlab pipline. Than you very much.
