podman compose up results in a permission denied error writing logs on Fedora

[jmontleon]

When running podman compose up on Fedora the output is flooded with errors PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/podman_compose/logs/kai_psql.log'.

I opened a podman issue to try to get some insight into why we see a difference with podman(-compose) on Mac and Fedora. https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/23439

I have also tried on a couple clean Fedora 40 VM installs with podman and podman-remote/machine and the issue reproduced, so I don't believe it is a system misconfiguration.

There are a few ways to proceed:

1. More manual steps:

   mkdir logs
   podman unshare chown 1001:1001 logs
   podman compose up

2. Automated, but will cause problems with git: Update mounts to :rw,Z,U

But this will break the git repo if you try to fetch updates or do anything else:

$ git fetch upstream
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/home/jason/Documents/go/src/github.com/konveyor/kai'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

    git config --global --add safe.directory /home/jason/Documents/go/src/github.com/konveyor/kai

3. Improving on 2:
   • Populate a logs directory in the repo
   • Add it to .gitignore
   • Add an additional volume mount - ${PWD}/logs:/podman_compose/logs:rw,z,U

I think unless we get some insight 3 is probably the most seamless approach.

I'm good with trying out option #3
