Error: setting up Pasta: could not find pasta

[VinterSolen]

Im trying to move over from docker to podman.

I try to create a caddy container, tried both via podman desktop and directly on the server

podman run -d --name caddy --network caddy-net -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v ~/caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro,Z -v ~/caddy/data:/data:Z -v ~/caddy/config:/config:Z docker.io/library/caddy:2-alpine

but where ever i try to run/create it it gives me
Error: setting up Pasta: could not find pasta, the network namespace can't be configured: exec: "pasta": executable file not found in $PATH

and i dont seem to be able to find anything more on this error

podman is installed locally thru apy. Trying to do rootless

If you are using Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install passt

---

If you are using Fedora:

sudo dnf install passt passt-selinux

---

If you want build pasta from source code and install pasta into your home directory

Side note:

I see that you use -p together with a caddy container image:

podman run -d   --name caddy   --network caddy-net   -p 80:80   -p 443:443   -v ~/caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile:ro,Z   -v ~/caddy/data:/data:Z   -v ~/caddy/config:/config:Z   docker.io/library/caddy:2-alpine

It is better to avoid using -p because caddy supports socket activation.

One advantage with using socket activation is that caddy will see the correct source IP address.

Due to #8193 the source IP address will not be coorect when combining -p and --network caddy-net.

I wrote some examples, for instance

https://github.com/eriksjolund/podman-caddy-socket-activation/tree/main/examples/example4

There seems to be a recent regression in Caddy so I'm not sure if
example 4 works with the latest Caddy version.

Hi, i more or less followed some guide how to start caddy on podman, and that guide had it like that

How did you install podman, what distro, etc?

As the errors says pasta is missing from your system, the normal package manager should generally install all the deps by default. If it is not part of the normal deps that sounds like a packaging bug you need to report to your distro.

As pointed out by @eriksjolund it is normally part of the passt package.
