DO188 chapter 4 rootless container exercise problem

[AnttiL]

Hi - not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have been going through the new DO188 self pace course and hit a problem when going through the chapter 4 exercise "Guided Exercise: Rootless Podman".

I have tried this several times but it seems that there is something that prevents starting the container with 'sudo'. There seems to be something preventing the process starting - there are no logs available for the container and when I looked at journalctl there seems to be at least some SELinux errors with suggestions how to apply workaround. Tried that but did not help.

I also ignored the error and tried with the instructions in the end of the exercise (adding the required subuids etc and running podman system migrate) but that did not help either.

Found the reason. Apparently the line in the Containerfile which is supposed to download gitea is pointing to a wrong URL, therefore there was no process to start when the podman run was initiated.

Changed dl.gitea.io to dl.gitea.com -> worked
