I keep getting the following error when I run sudo podman run command -
sudo podman run --name mysql-custom \ > -e MYSQL_USER=redhat -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=r3dh4t \ > -d rhmap47/mysql:5.5
unable to pull : error getting registries to try: invalid reference format
Hi Suhaib
Yes, this is an issue with the rendering we already saw in the past.
The issue is that:
- There should be a carry return after the `\` sign. This sign indicates the command is not yet complete and continues in the next line.
- The `>` sign should be rendered as a "continuation prompt", indicating this is not something you should write, but something the terminal is showing.
So, as Alexandre said, please try the command without the `\>` signs.
BTW, what course and version are you finding this? We should have fixed the issue, but maybe we missed a case.
Kind Regards

Hi
Are you really type the command this way:
sudo podman run --name mysql-custom \ > -e MYSQL_USER=redhat -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=r3dh4t \ > -d rhmap47/mysql:5.5
Try
sudo podman run --name mysql-custom -e MYSQL_USER=redhat -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=r3dh4t -d rhmap47/mysql:5.5

Thanks for your kind help. BTW the course version 4.2, that I'm working on is DO180.
I'm pretty sure this is in DO180, and I only found one instance of this string (looking at the PDF file.
The actual render is correct, but Jordi is correct: The backslash char (\) means "type \ and press Enter" and the shell provides the > symbol, indicating that the command is still open.
The render is correct in the current build (see attached) so I *expect* yours should display the same way. If not, please let us know.
Thanks very much.

I'm getting the same thing in DO180 at 1.2 in one of the first guided exercises.
I have entered this in a text editor:
podman run name mysql-basic \
-e MYSQL_USER=user1 -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=mypa55 \
-e MYSQL_DATABASE=items -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=r00tpa55 \
-d registry.redhat.io/rhel8/mysql-80:1
When I pasted it into TextPad, it showed that the '-' were some other non-ascii character (probably unicode) - darn browsers!
The fix for this is to manually enter the entire command line and do not copy from the browser. Optionally, you could paste it into a text editor, fix anything you see might be incorrectly pasted, and then copy it into the lab environment.
