## NAME
|
|
podman\-unshare - Run a command inside of a modified user namespace
|
|
|
|
## SYNOPSIS
|
|
**podman unshare** [*options*] [*command*]
|
|
|
|
## DESCRIPTION
|
|
Launches a process (by default, *$SHELL*) in a new user namespace. The user
|
|
namespace is configured so that the invoking user's UID and primary GID appear
|
|
to be UID 0 and GID 0, respectively. Any ranges which match that user and
|
|
group in `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` are also mapped in as themselves with the
|
|
help of the *newuidmap(1)* and *newgidmap(1)* helpers.
|
|
|
|
**podman unshare** is useful for troubleshooting unprivileged operations and for
|
|
manually clearing storage and other data related to images and containers.
|
|
|
|
It is also useful to use the **podman mount** command. If an unprivileged user wants to mount and work with a container, then they need to execute
|
|
**podman unshare**. Executing **podman mount** fails for unprivileged users unless the user is running inside a **podman unshare** session.
|
|
|
|
The unshare session defines two environment variables:
|
|
|
|
- **CONTAINERS_GRAPHROOT**: the path to the persistent container's data.
|
|
- **CONTAINERS_RUNROOT**: the path to the volatile container's data.
|
|
|
|
*IMPORTANT: This command is not available with the remote Podman client.*
|
|
|
|
## OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
#### **--help**, **-h**
|
|
|
|
Print usage statement
|
|
|
|
#### **--rootless-netns**
|
|
|
|
Join the rootless network namespace used for netavark networking. It can be used to
|
|
connect to a rootless container via IP address (bridge networking). This is otherwise
|
|
not possible from the host network namespace.
|
|
|
|
## Exit Codes
|
|
|
|
The exit code from `podman unshare` gives information about why the container
|
|
failed to run or why it exited. When `podman unshare` commands exit with a non-zero code,
|
|
the exit codes follow the `chroot` standard, see below:
|
|
|
|
**125** The error is with podman **_itself_**
|
|
|
|
$ podman unshare --foo; echo $?
|
|
Error: unknown flag: --foo
|
|
125
|
|
|
|
**126** Executing a _contained command_ and the _command_ cannot be invoked
|
|
|
|
$ podman unshare /etc; echo $?
|
|
Error: fork/exec /etc: permission denied
|
|
126
|
|
|
|
**127** Executing a _contained command_ and the _command_ cannot be found
|
|
|
|
$ podman unshare foo; echo $?
|
|
Error: fork/exec /usr/bin/bogus: no such file or directory
|
|
127
|
|
|
|
**Exit code** _contained command_ exit code
|
|
|
|
$ podman unshare /bin/sh -c 'exit 3'; echo $?
|
|
3
|
|
|
|
## EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
Execute specified command in rootless user namespace:
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman unshare id
|
|
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),65534(nobody)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Show user namespace mappings for rootless containers:
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman unshare cat /proc/self/uid_map /proc/self/gid_map
|
|
0 1000 1
|
|
1 10000 65536
|
|
0 1000 1
|
|
1 10000 65536
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Show rootless netns information in user namespace for rootless containers:
|
|
```
|
|
$ podman unshare --rootless-netns ip addr
|
|
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
