Podman userns=auto error

When trying to test containers with userns=auto you’ll most likely receive the “not enough unused IDs in user namespace” error. This is expected as it’s caused by rootless distrobox containers using --userns=keep-id.

There are two ways to “work around” this:

  1. Delete all distrobox containers per podman’s troubleshooting (43), test the container, and then restore/rebuild distrobox containers with ujust distrobox-assemble
  2. Create and use a virtual machine for testing the containers.
