Distrobox: Difference between revisions
Added a fix to a problem I encountered with NixOS on Orbstack. I'm not sure how common it is, but it took a bit to debug. |

==== "potentially insufficient UIDs and GUIDs" error ==== | |||
When setting up containers that do not run as root, you may see an error along the following lines: (this example uses podman, lilipod has a different error) | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="console"> | |||
# distrobox create container | |||
... | |||
Error: copying system image from manifest list: writing blob: adding layer with blob ...: | |||
unpacking failed (error: exit status 1; | |||
output: potentially insufficient UIDs or GIDs available in user namespace (requested 1000:1000 for /home/ubuntu): Check /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid if configured locally and run "podman system migrate": lchown /home/ubuntu: invalid argument) | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
adding the following to your config might help: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
users.users.ilyagr = { | |||
extraGroups = [ "podman" ]; | |||
subGidRanges = [ | |||
{ | |||
count = 65536; | |||
startGid = 1000; | |||
} | |||
]; | |||
subUidRanges = [ | |||
{ | |||
count = 65536; | |||
startUid = 1000; | |||
} | |||
]; | |||
}; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Rebuild your system, run <code>podman system migrate</code>, and try creating the distrobox container again. | |||
