On void linux.
Under `/etc/containers/` there is a file called `registries.conf`. It is complemented by `man 5 containers-registries.conf`.
Change (for me lines 11-12) which say
[registries.search]
registries = []
to
[registries.search]
registries = ['docker.io']
(drawn from https://www.projectatomic.io/blog/2018/05/podman-tls/)
Without the above you won’t be able to use basic podman functions. You might get errors like:
Error: unable to pull fedora:28: image name provided is a short name and no search registries are defined in the registries config file.Error: unable to pull stripe/stripe-cli: image name provided is a short name and no search registries are defined in the registries config file.
Various documentation (redhat blog entries, man podman pages) say that dockerhub is a default, but without this step it’s clearly not.
Good luck. Feel free to use the comment box below if you have a github account.
By default podman will not pull images from docker.io and will need setup. This guide worked for me.
