Can't Start Container as a Service for a user
Hi Community,
I created an Nginx container name "website. I want to start it as a service for the "hatred" user.
bb58924e9431 docker.io/library/nginx:latest nginx -g daemon o... 47 hours ago Up 2 seconds ago 0.0.0.0:8080->80/tcp website
I created directories in the user's home directory and user "hatred" is the owner of the directories.
/home/hatred/.config/systemd/user
Then I generated the service by using container id, I tried the name as well. Here is the command I used and got the below result.
#podman generate systemd --name bb58924e9431 --files --new /home/hatred/.config/systemd/user/container-website.service
I verified the file got generated
[root@hatred user]# ls -l total 4 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 770 Jul 26 20:56 container-website.service
Then I reloaded the daemon
.# systemctl --user daemon-reload
However when I try to start or enable the service I get "Failed to start container-website.service: Unit container-website.service not found. " or "Failed to enable unit: Unit file container-website.service does not exist." error.
#systemctl --user start container-website.service Failed to start container-website.service: Unit container-website.service not found.
systemctl --user enable container-website.service Failed to enable unit: Unit file container-website.service does not exist.
Here are the "container-website.service" file's contents.
# container-website.service # autogenerated by Podman 4.0.2 # Tue Jul 26 20:56:59 MST 2022 [Unit] Description=Podman container-website.service Documentation=man:podman-generate-systemd(1) Wants=network-online.target After=network-online.target RequiresMountsFor=%t/containers [Service] Environment=PODMAN_SYSTEMD_UNIT=%n Restart=on-failure TimeoutStopSec=70 ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f %t/%n.ctr-id ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman run --cidfile=%t/%n.ctr-id --cgroups=no-conmon --rm --sdnotify=conmon --replace --name website -v /web:/usr/share/nginx/html:Z -d -p 8080:80 nginx:latest ExecStop=/usr/bin/podman stop --ignore --cidfile=%t/%n.ctr-id ExecStopPost=/usr/bin/podman rm -f --ignore --cidfile=%t/%n.ctr-id Type=notify NotifyAccess=all [Install] WantedBy=default.target
I created a service for the root and added it to the system directory, I was able to start that service as root, but the user's service is not getting started. Any idea how can I fix this issue?
Thank you for your help.
