Podman: ERRO[0000] The storage 'driver' option must be set in /etc/containers/storage.conf

Question

I'm on Manjaro, trying Podman and getting this error when I use any podman command:

ERRO[0000] The storage 'driver' option must be set in /etc/containers/storage.conf, guarantee proper operation.

How can I solve that? Tks.

What version of podman is installed? Are you running podman as root, or as another user? – Heyduck

@Heyduck I'm using podman 3.0.1, and with root or without root it gives the same message. – Joellejoellen

Answer 1

I had the same problem, try setting the option in the config file like described in the man page here. For me changing driver = "" to driver = "fuse-overlayfs" did the trick.
