Podman is not used by default

• Bug Report

SUMMARY

After installing ansible-navigator and execute it the first time, an image is downloaded by podman, but later no pod is used to execute the program. This not happen as default, but also choosing it explicitly as cmd flags. Also I'm not sure of the convenience of using this behavior by default. I have installed podman-docker to ensure cross compatibility, so I have both commands (podman|docker)

podman rootless podman version 3.4.7

ANSIBLE-NAVIGATOR VERSION

ansible-navigator 2.2.0

Python 3.9.13

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

ansible-navigator --execution-environment true --ll debug --ce podman

EXPECTED RESULTS

During the execution of ansible-navigator I should see running some related pod with podman ps

ACTUAL RESULTS

I don't see nothing, ansible-navigator is executed in the system:

➜  alex@alextop  ~/repos/redhat/ansible/eda  ps aux | grep "ansible-navigator"  
alex     3942866  5.9  0.1 272524 42640 pts/6    S+   10:36   0:01 /usr/bin/python3 /home/alex/bin/ansible-navigator --execution-environment true --ce podman

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Hey @Alex-Izquierdo

A couple things, navigator only runs podman when it needs to, there won't be a container running all the time.

Can you try again? Maybe in one terminal with:

ansible-navigator exec (that should give you a shell in the EE)

and in another terminal: podman ps

You should see the podman running the EE.

If you do not,

Can you run ansible-navigator exec --ll debug --la false and provide us the log file here?

Thanks- Brad
