how to pull from docker hub using podman/buildah

gistfile1.txt

On void linux.

Under `/etc/containers/` there is a file called `registries.conf`. It is complemented by `man 5 containers-registries.conf`.

Change (for me lines 11-12) which say

[registries.search]
registries = []


to


```
[registries.search]
registries = ['docker.io']
```

---------------


Without the above you won't be able to use basic `podman` functions. You might get errors like:

- `Error: unable to pull fedora:28: image name provided is a short name and no search registries are defined in the registries config file.`
- `Error: unable to pull stripe/stripe-cli: image name provided is a short name and no search registries are defined in the registries config file.`

Various documentation (redhat blog entries, `man podman` pages) say that dockerhub is a default, but without this step it's clearly not.


Good luck. Feel free to use the comment box below if you have a github account.

Nice. Worked for Ubuntu 22.
