Greetings,

I’ve been trying to use podman to build images on builds.sr.ht but not having a lot of luck. It appears the file used to configure registries (/etc/containers/registries.conf) doesn’t contain any registries. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks much,

Stephen.

Could you please point to a reproducing build?

I think that's a problem with the distribution not with sourcehut. (It
would be probably helpful to tell us which one you are using, to
determine if it's an actual bug with the image.)

For my pipelines I added a setup task that creates the pre-requisits[1],
but that's for Archlinux, which as far as I can see has a
registries.conf file, even though it's empty.

I would suggest you do something similar.

I'm not sure it's OK to burden the people that are maintaining the
images with additional plumbing that they need to take care of.

Ok, so here’s the build I’m talking about: https://builds.sr.ht/~coreagile/job/928373

It appears as if the user that runs the build doesn’t have permissions to change the configuration file. It’s likely owned by root. After reading the docs, I can’t see a way to mutate the image safely. I assume I’ll have to build my own image?

You'll need to use sudo to write to that file.
