📝 Describe your problem

I followed the instructions for installing dockge. I installed it on Debian 12. But docker-compose up fails with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied. I'm using podman. podman-docker and podman-compose are installed.

What should I do to debug this problem? I don't know what docker-compose tries to open.

🐻 Dockge Version

I'm trying to install image: louislam/dockge:1

💻 Operating System and Arch

Debian 12

🌐 Browser

🐋 Docker Version

podman version 4.3.1

🟩 NodeJS Version

In case of this is interesting for someone else: If you want to use dockge with podman you have to edit compose.yaml and change

- /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

in

- /run/user/<uid>/podman/podman.sock:/run/user/<uid>/podman/podman.sock

and

- ./data:/app/data

in

- <path_to_dockge>:/app/data

You also have to run

systemctl --user status podman.socket

an instead of

docker-compose up -d

you have to use

docker-compose --host unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock up -d

After this, you have to run

systemctl enable --user podman-restart.service

and as root:

loginctl enable-linger PODMAN-USER-HERE

IMHO the documentation should be updated to this or podman should be removed from the documentation.

[sascha-wi]

docker-compose --host unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock up -d

Shouldn't it be simply podman-compose up -d ?

[r-nab]

this works for me -
a slight change -
- /run/user/<uid>/podman/podman.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
instead of this -
- /run/user/<uid>/podman/podman.sock:/run/user/<uid>/podman/podman.sock
