📝 Describe your problem

I can't deploy anything with Dockge and Podman.
I use podman rootless. The problem is, that the permission is denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. How can I fix it to use dockge rootless with podman? I don't use docker :)

I use podman version 5.3.2 with Alpine Linux 3.21.3.

Any news on this? I get the same error but my podman machine is rootful. I am running on MacOS with podman client version 5.5, podman engine version 5.5 and podman desktop 1.19.1. Docker compatibility mode is enabled.

Did some research and managed to fix this problem. I changed the compose.yaml and added the following lines:
security_opt: - "label=disable"
