Installing/Running Arbiter Container using Podman

#Containerization #Mirroring #InterSystems IRIS

Does anyone have experience with installing the Arbiter Container using Podman instead of Docker in a Red Hat environment? I was able to pull down the docker image, but unsure what are the next steps as I am confused on how to start the container using Podman and ensure the parameters are set appropriately? Does anyone have the steps that I should take? Should I go through the WRC? Does the WRC have experience using Podman?

Or should I just install the ISC Agent instead of using the Container?

Please and thanks,

Scott Roth

I just searched history and found these commands somebody else had used. Maybe some could help you:

sudo podman login containers.intersystems.com

sudo podman search containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth

sudo podman image list containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/irishealth

sudo podman pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/webgateway-arm64:2022.2.0.372.0

sudo podman search --list-tags containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/arbiter-arm64

My team uses Podman to build images and run containers. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? podman and docker should be mostly interchangeable. If you have a docker run command, you should be able to do the same using podman instead of docker

I am not too familar with podman as I have used it only a couple of times. I downloaded the repository, but I am not sure where to go from there.

If I just try...

[XXXXX@int-intarb-vt01 ~]$ sudo podman run containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/arbiter
Trying to pull containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/arbiter:latest...
Error: initializing source docker://containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/arbiter:latest: reading manifest latest in containers.intersystems.com/intersystems/arbiter: manifest unknown: The named manifest is not known to the registry.

I just tried the same command and I got unauthorized error. The client does not have permission for manifest. Did you login to containers.intersystems.com before you tried the podman run?

I redid my commands to make sure I did the login before the run, and still got the same error.

I just logged in containers.intersystems.com from browser. Somehow podman login does not work. I see images under arbiter. I think you should try to add a tag to your run such as arbiter:2023.1.0.185.0 ...

I've decided to just go with the ISCAgent install right now, thanks. I will keep this in mind when I have time to revisit it.
