Podman and Homebrew and Docker - Permission to launch ...

Following my earlier post: -

Podman - my first time

and harking back to an older post: -

Homebrew on macOS - Docker says "No" - well, kinda

I thought I'd update Homebrew: -

brew upgrade

Error: Permission denied @ apply2files - /usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins

The computer said "No".

So we've got some hangover from Docker Desktop, which I'd uninstalled by dragging Docker.app from the Applications folder to the Trashcan.

Thankfully, I remembered the previous incident of this on my 2014 Mac mini.

Knowing that this was permission-related, I checked the offending folder - /usr/local/lib/docker - as follows: -

ls -al /usr/local/lib/docker/

total 0

drwxr-xr-x    3 root  admin    96 15 Sep 17:25 .

drwxrwxr-x  294 hayd  admin  9408  1 Oct 14:52 ..

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root  admin    55 15 Sep 17:25 cli-plugins -> /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/cli-plugins

and just fixed up the permissions: -

sudo chown -R hayd:admin /usr/local/lib

and then re-ran the Brew upgrade: -

brew upgrade

and now it's happy: -

Bash completion has been installed to:

  /usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d

==> coreutils

Commands also provided by macOS and the commands dir, dircolors, vdir have been installed with the prefix "g".

If you need to use these commands with their normal names, you can add a "gnubin" directory to your PATH with:

  PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

Sadly, despite the supposed upgraded to podman the version still reports as before: -

podman --version

podman version 3.4.0

podman version

Client:

Version:      3.4.0

API Version:  3.4.0

Go Version:   go1.17.1

Go Version:   go1.16.6

OS/Arch:      linux/amd64

and the initial JSON-related issue persists: -

podman run hello-world

Error: error preparing container c30900631b5e91c564a3c8093dc11ff975bd09b02d156b95f6ef243844548320 for attach: error configuring network namespace for container c30900631b5e91c564a3c8093dc11ff975bd09b02d156b95f6ef243844548320: error adding pod musing_kirch_musing_kirch to CNI network "podman": unexpected end of JSON input

Sigh!!!
