From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Confused about permissions changing because of ¿dockman? (lemmy.ml)

tl;dr: dockman changing permissions of /docker an I don't like it. Is it normal? Am I a control freak?

I've been using Linux for years, but always at a user level. Since last year I started tinkering, since I wanted to get out of big tech dependency. Now I'm running a modest home server and it's been great so far.

The problem I'm facing right now is that the number or docker containers grew up to a point where I thought of using a manager of sorts. Dockman feels good enough for me but it keeps changing permissions of the docker folder to root:root, so I keep getting pushed out.

I guess makes sense that, if I manage everything from Dockman, it would take control, but I really don't like that I can't manage permissions of folders on my server or PC and delegating that to a mere docker manager.

Thoughts on this?

I just found out something else: restic can't access the folders because root:root. this is so annoying! I'll try podman again... I didn't see how to make it find my containers lol

You will have to transfer your containers before you can see them.

From Docker to Podman: full migration to rootless

podman unshare is your friend. And placing :Z at the end of ~~bl~~ volume share to make SELinux happy
