* man page checker: enforce stricter options formatEd Santiago2022-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Followup to #14906, in which a nonexistent option was found in a man page. The xref script was designed to catch that, but I was too lax in my parsing: the option was documented using wrong syntax, and the script didn't catch it. Solution: do not allow *any* unrecognized cruft in the option description lines. And fix all improperly-written entries to conform to the rule: **--option**=*value(s)* Two asterisks around option, which must have two dashes. One asterisk around value(s). This is going to cause headaches for some people adding new options, but I don't think I can fix that: there are many factors that make an unparseable line. Adding 'hint' code would make the script even more complex than it is. I have to assume that our contributors are smart enough to look at surrounding context and figure out the right way to specify options. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>
* podman machine: make 9p security model configurable; adjust docsCorey Hickey2022-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This addresses: Symlinks don't work on podman machine on macOS Monterey when using volumes feature #13784 This change does NOT exactly fix the bug, but it does allow the user to work around it via 'podman init' option, e.g.: podman machine init -v "$HOME/git:$HOME/git:ro:security_model=none" If the default security model were to be changed to 'none', then that would fix the bug, at the possible cost of breaking any use cases that depend on 'mapped-xattr'. The documentation of the purpose and behavior of the different security models seems to be rather light: https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/9psetup#Starting_the_Guest_directly From testing, it appears that the mapped-xattr security model intends to manage symlinks such that the guest can see the symlinks but the host only sees regular files (with extended attributes). As far as I can tell, this behavior only makes sense when the guest is the only thing that ever needs to create and read symlinks. Otherwise, symlinks created on the host are unusable on the guest, and vice versa. As per the original commit: 8e7eeaa4dd14621bda15e396fcd7b9187bc500c5 [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Also document existing ro and rw options. Also remove misleading statement about /mnt. By my observation, this line is incorrect. If the intended meaning is different, then I don't understand. The default volume is mounted read/write and is not within /mnt. [core@localhost ~]$ mount | grep 9p vol0 on /Users/chickey type 9p (rw,relatime,sync,dirsync,access=client,trans=virtio) Signed-off-by: Corey Hickey <chickey@tagged.com>
* Only allow Rootless runs of Podman MachineAshley Cui2022-06-29
| | | | | | | | Podman Machine crashes if run as root. When creating the machine, we write the ignition so that the UID of the core user matches the UID of the user on the host. We by default, create the root user on the machine with UID 0. If the user on the host is root, the core UID and the Root UID collide, causing a the VM not to boot.

* Revert "Switch all rootful to rootfull"Ashley Cui2022-04-25
| | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit cc3790f332d989440eb1720e24e3619fc97c74ee. We can't change rootful to rootfull because `rootful` is written into the machine config. Changing this will break json unmarshalling, which will break existing machines. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Signed-off-by: Ashley Cui <acui@redhat.com>
* Switch all rootful to rootfullDaniel J Walsh2022-04-21
| | | | | | | | | We are inconsistent on the name, we should stick with rootfull. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Existing tests should handle this and no tests for machines exists yet. Signed-off-by: Daniel J Walsh <dwalsh@redhat.com>
* Add container.conf default volume to initBrent Baude2022-04-14

* man pages: sort flags, and keep them that wayEd Santiago2022-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Command flags (OPTIONS) in man pages have to date been in haphazard order. Sometimes that order is sensible, e.g., most-important options first, but more often they're just in arbitrary places. This makes life hard for users. Here, I update the man-page-check Makefile script so it checks and enforces alphabetical order in OPTIONS sections. Then -- the hard part -- update all existing man pages to conform to this requirement. Signed-off-by: Ed Santiago <santiago@redhat.com>

* Make it possible to select the volume driverAnders F Björklund2021-12-30

* Implement virtfs volumes for podman machineAnders F Björklund2021-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow using the built-in 9pfs feature of qemu, mounting host directories into vm mountpoints. The volumes are generic, the mounts are specific. Wait for the machine to be "running", otherwise the SSH function might throw an error instead.

* Set machine timezoneBrent Baude2021-12-16

* Add podman machine init --now optionDaniel J Walsh2021-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once we have this option, the new documentation from users becomes a little simpler. brew install podman podman machine init --now podman run ... --now option is based off of `systemctl enable XYZ.service --now` [NO TESTS NEEDED] The infrastructure has not been setup yet to test podman machine init.

* Revert escaped double dash man page flag syntaxPaul Holzinger2021-05-07
| | | | | | | | Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the dashes is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>

* Fix long option format on docs.podman.ioPaul Holzinger2021-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Escape the two dashes, otherwise they are combined into one long dash. I tested that this change is safe and still renders correctly on github and with the man pages. This commit also contains a small change to make it build locally.

* Podman machine enhancementsbaude2021-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Podman machine remove is now called `rm`. Podman machine create now supports resizing the image to the value of --disk-size as provided. The default is to 10G. Added systemd unit file on guest via ignition that sends a Ready message to the host over a virtio-socket so that we know when the VM is booted and ready for use. Podman machine commands no longer require a VM name as an argument. A default VM name is defined and if no VM name is provided as a arg, the default will be used.
