I’m trying to switch my existing Docker setup to a rootless podman one. The main issue tripping me is how to mount remote volumes. My file server is a different machine, so I mount the data into docker containers via a NFS volume. However, I can’t do this with podman since the normal user doesn’t have the rights for mounting NFS drives. Only the root user can do that.

One option I’ve thought of is to mount everything I need via fstab and use bind mounts. Is there a better solution?

    I’ve had issues with this too and reverted back to rooted docker. I even tried podman and system NFS mounts that it binds too with varying issues.

    It looks like you can’t actually do this with podman for varying reasons.
