  • I don’t run MicroOS myself so take this with a grain of salt. But this is usually how I do it, though there might be a better practice out there for this too.

    Afaik, MicroOS by the sound of it, only ships with root by default, but rootless Podman should definitely be possible.

    Normally, you need to set up user namespace mappings for your non-root user. Run these commands as root:

    usermod --add-subuids 100000-165535 <yourusername>
    usermod --add-subgids 100000-165535 <yourusername>
    

    Then check they’re set up with:

    grep <yourusername> /etc/subuid
    grep <yourusername> /etc/subgid
    

    This should give your regular user the ability to map container UIDs without needing root privileges. After that, Podman should work fine as your regular user.

    Hope this helps a little 👍




















  • From my understanding thunbird is somewhat separated from this. From the article linked by OP it says:

    What’s crystal clear is that Thunderbird’s ever-increasing donation revenue (currently its sole source of income) is allowing for some explosive growth that’s long overdue. To add some context to this, Thunderbird received $2.8 million in donation revenue during 2021. Two years later, in 2023, it received $8.6 million in donations. I’m told that total financial contributions for 2024 were even higher, though the final amount hasn’t been officially released.
