Question

Hey folks,

What's your experience with running Windows container on Podman? We are consider to switch to it from Docker and I wonder if that's a road full of tears.

Thanks!

I just tried podman (again) and this time I did not have an issue connecting via RDP (#291). So in my short time I used it podman works fine rootless even.
There is one issue I found but I am not sure if this is podman or maybe rootless related: #618

podman -v
podman version 5.1.1

Edit: need to check internet connectivity.
Edit2: internet works fine. :)

I've personally not had any luck with RDP connections, though it does sucessfully startup and can be connected through the browser based NoVNC.

This is my run command
podman run -it --rm --privileged -p 8006:8006 -p 3333:3389/tcp -p 3333:3389/udp --device=/dev/kvm --cap-add NET_ADMIN --stop-timeout 120 dockurr/windows

Remmina just closes when I try to connect to it with this:

Gnome Connections gives this error:

I've also tried defining an explicit user with the env variables, and it correctly created it which I could see when connected via NoVNC, but it was (generally) unconnectable via RDP. I was able to connect to it once with gnome connections using that user's username/pass but after I recreated it I didn't work a second time. Remmina never worked in this case either.

I have a Windows vm on my proxmox server which Remmina can connect to just fine however.

same problem. in linux it is very difficult to connect, but in windows it is easy

I can also confirm that I can connect to the VM container with my phone's rdp client, but not using Remmina or gnome connections. I tried both the localhost path and the lan ip paths on the host machine too and I didn't see any difference, just in case connecting via lan worked but not via localhost.

Anyone has any clue why exactly there are some RDP connections issue on the host machine running the container with Podman specifically ?

Any way to move forward or pinpoint the issue here ?
