Can you <spin> inside a container?

[Boyd Kelly]

Hi,

I was just fiddling with livecd-creator on my silverblue laptop.   If I
create a container and try to run livecd-creator I will get for example:

[bkelly@xps fedora-live-workstation]$ sudo livecd-creator -c
fedora-live-workstation.ks
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pykickstart/commands/partition.py:448:
KickstartParseWarning: A partition with the mountpoint / has already been
defined.
  warnings.warn(_("A partition with the mountpoint %s has already been
defined.") % pd.mountpoint, KickstartParseWarning)
losetup: cannot find an unused loop device: No such device
Error creating Live CD : Failed to loopback mount
'/var/tmp/imgcreate-_9rne_ob/tmp-ub9a2g97/ext3fs.img' : Failed to allocate
loop device for '/var/tmp/imgcreate-_9rne_ob/tmp-ub9a2g97/ext3fs.img'
[bkelly@xps fedora-live-workstation]$

This is not surprising to me, but just wondering if there are any options
or methods at this time (other than layering the packages on the host) to
produce a spin inside a container.

Thanks!!!

Take a look at [1]. It works using podman.
I Hope this helps.

ah very interesting.   Just a question:   Did you find it was a requirement
to run podman as root?

Thanks!

Yes. But if you find another way to do it, just let me know.
