Configure the unqualified-search-registries used by Podman.

Podman by default uses the fedoraproject.org, redhat.com, and docker.io unqualified search registries. SinceCortex XSOAR images use only the docker.io registry, you can speed up download times for container images by setting unqualified-search-registries to just docker.io.

1. Create or edit the /home/demisto/.config/containers/registries.conf config file.

2. In the file, set unqualified-search-registries = ["docker.io"]

   Note

   If you edit the file with the root user, make sure to set the demisto user as file owner by running chown demisto:demisto /home/demisto/.config/containers/registries.conf

Change the subuids and subgids by running the following command:

sudo usermod --add-subuids 200000-265535 --add-subgids 200000-265535 demisto

Migrate existing containers to Podman:

sudo sh -c "cd /; runuser -u demisto -- podman system migrate"

Set the net.ipv4.ping-group-range, by typing the following commands:

As root user, edit the following config file:

/usr/local/demisto/d1.conf

Change the "container.engine.type": "docker" to “podman".

If this line does not exist, add the following line to the file:

"container.engine.type": "podman"

"Server": {
                "HttpsPort": "443",
                "ProxyMode": true
