Doesn't work with podman.

[Alastor-Ripley]

Can't use podman instead of docker despite having setup docker compatibility options and set env variables to redirect docker calls to podman, but whenever I have tried to run the installer script, I always get an error saying it can't find docker.

To Reproduce
Running either the quick script or the manual setup as instructed for Linux from the subsystem website

Expected behavior
The installer would send a command to docker which podman should receive and perform.

Host Info:

• OS: Garuda-Linux
• Version: newest, rolling release
• Subsystem Manager Version: attempted just yesterday as of writing this so I'm assuming latest.

Additional context
Not sure if I've setup the docker cli compatibility 100% correctly, however whenever I've run other docker commands to install an image (the one for the standalone local-ai for example) it works just fine using podman as if it were docker.

@Alastor-Ripley I will get working on checking to see if its the docker libs we use or something as they claim to work with podman... Thank you for this report!

[lunamidori5]

@Alastor-Ripley sorry for the delay we had a server outage and am working on fixing that, deeply sorry for the delay

[Alastor-Ripley]

Oh no need to apologize at all, I understand. I've been told that I have the patience of a saint lol. I'm definitely not a saint but the patience part is true (unless I'm driving, then my patience goes out the window it seems) Thank you for even looking into it

@Alastor-Ripley at last our servers are back up and running, can you post some docs on podman and Ill do some reading <3

okay we are working on some new tech to remove the need and use of docker from the program, does podman support the docker sock? - @Alastor-Ripley

[Alastor-Ripley]

i believe so yes, here's the deocumentation on docker/podman compatability, i think it mentions that somewhere in there.
https://podman-desktop.io/docs/migrating-from-docker
and here:
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/socket_activation.md

@Alastor-Ripley can you please try this

Change the docker to your podman command

docker run -v /run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -it lunamidori5/pixelarch:subsystem /bin/bash

Once in this shell type sudo subsystem_manager and just tell me if it offers to install the subsystem

DO NOT INSTALL THE SUBSYSTEM YET

[Alastor-Ripley]

yes it did

[lunamidori5]

@Alastor-Ripley cool Ill start work on a real fix then sadly I am going on a trip in under 6 days... =( but know Ill be work ing on this!

[lunamidori5]

The podman sock seems to work from my testing, in 2.0 it should not be hard to just switch it in the config file, sorry for the slowness @Alastor-Ripley

[Alastor-Ripley]

Oh, ok cool, I'll have to try again and see if I was doing something wrong lol. No worries at all, hope you had a good trip and thanks for getting back to me.

[lunamidori5]

I am getting the groundwork laid for a better ver 2 that will be fully self contained in the docker image (containerd friendly) so this way no matter what sock the system runs or os, it can use Midori AI's tooling and everyone always has all the tools. I hope that is okay <3 @Alastor-Ripley

[Alastor-Ripley]

sounds good to me

[lunamidori5]

@Alastor-Ripley I think v2 is ready for using with podman, can you test it, you will need to edit the config file and all that jazz
