I have installed Podman on Ubuntu 18.04 and it seemed to install without issue but...
When I type podman--version I get:
podman version 1.3.0-dev
But if I then type podman ps I get:
Error: could not get runtime: cannot make directory /home/redacted/.config/containers: mkdir /home/redacted/.config/containers: permission denied
I'm not sure why this is happening.
Podman when running rootless attempts to create content in the home directory. In this case it looks like the homedir is /home/redacted.
The user running podman is not allowed to write to the homedir /home/redacted.
