Running container with podman won't allow saving results

[olberger]

I'm testing the use of the ghcr.io/astefanutti/decktape container image with podman as a replacement for docker.

Using docker run --rm -t -v pwd:/slides ghcr.io/astefanutti/decktape https://revealjs.com/demo/ slides.pdf, I get the following error:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open 'slides.pdf'
    at Object.openSync (node:fs:573:18)
    at Object.writeFileSync (node:fs:2381:35)
    at writePdf (file:///decktape/decktape.js:586:6)
    at async file:///decktape/decktape.js:305:9 {
  errno: -13,
  code: 'EACCES',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'slides.pdf'
}

This may be related to the way podman emulates docker, or the way my podman installation is setup (Debian testing defaults), of course.

Just in case this helps figure out a workaround/solution, if others have the same issue.

Thanks in advance for any hints

FWIW, a workaround is to use the "docker cp" method: see "Alternatively, you can use the docker cp command, e.g.:" section in the README.

Hth,

That may have to do with SELinux, could you try adding :z, e.g.:

podman run --rm -t -v pwd:/slides:z ghcr.io/astefanutti/decktape https://revealjs.com/demo/ slides.pdf
