+# Troubleshooting
+
+## A list of common issues and solutions for Podman
+
+---
+### 1) No such image or Bare keys cannot contain ':'
+
+When doing a `podman pull` or `podman build` command and a "common" image can not be pulled,
+it is likely that the `/etc/containers/registries.conf` file is either not installed or possibly
+misconfigured.
+
+#### Symptom
+```
+sudo podman build -f Dockerfile
+STEP 1: FROM alpine
+error building: error creating build container: no such image "alpine" in registry: image not known
+```
+or
+```
+$ sudo podman pull fedora
+error pulling image "fedora": unable to pull fedora: error getting default registries to try: Near line 9 (last key parsed ''): Bare keys cannot contain ':'.
+```
+
+#### Solution
+
+ * Verify that the `/etc/containers/registries.conf` file exists. If not, verify that the skopeo-containers package is installed.
+ * Verify that the entries in the `[registries.search]` section of the /etc/containers/registries.conf file are valid and reachable.
+ * i.e. `registries = ['registry.fedoraproject.org', 'quay.io', 'registry.access.redhat.com']`
+
+---
+### 2) http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client
+
+When doing a Podman command such as `build`, `commit`, `pull`, or `push` to a registry,
+tls verification is turned on by default. If authentication is not used with
+those commands, this error can occur.
+
+#### Symptom
+```
+podman push alpine docker://localhost:5000/myalpine:latest
+Getting image source signatures
+Get https://localhost:5000/v2/: http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client
+```
+
+#### Solution
+
+By default tls verification is turned on when communicating to registries from
+Podman. If the registry does not require authentication the Podman commands
+such as `build`, `commit`, `pull` and `push` will fail unless tls verification is turned
+off using the `--tls-verify` option. **NOTE:** It is not at all recommended to
+communicate with a registry and not use tls verification.
+
+ * Turn off tls verification by passing false to the tls-verification option.
+ * I.e. `podman push --tls-verify=false alpine docker://localhost:5000/myalpine:latest`
