How to make /etc/containers persistent after a restart

[Teg79]

I need to add registries and insecure registries to podman conf, but after a podman-machine restart box I lose the configuration. Is there any way to make it persistent across restarts?

A solution I'm working on is to mount a host folder as /etc/containers but it would be great to have an official solution on the readme

There is a script /opt/bootsync.sh in TCL, where you can do such things

Actually there are two, but that is more for if you want to do slow things.

#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here, the boot process will wait until they complete.
# Use bootlocal.sh for system startup commands that can run in the background 
# and therefore not slow down the boot process.

We use it to call a script in the persisted part, where you can add your own things:

/var/lib/boot2podman/bootlocal.sh

if [ -e /var/lib/boot2podman/bootlocal.sh ]; then
    sh /var/lib/boot2podman/bootlocal.sh &
fi

/opt/bootlocal.sh &

Rebuilding the image is also an option, add links/mount like we do for other things.
