From 977094781841f57c82b71e3ccc32dad952a8c0e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel J Walsh Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2020 16:51:33 -0500 Subject: Document containers.conf settings for remote connections Currently we don't document which end of the podman-remote client server operations uses the containers.conf. This PR begins documenting this and then testing to make sure the defaults follow the rules.
