Can you run container-use stdio yourself in a terminal ?

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 12:58 PM

#

Yes, but the process exits immediately with exit code 1.

#

can you run which container-use and container-use version

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 1:01 PM

#

Sure. which gives me /opt/homebrew/bin/container-use, the version is
container-use version 0.3.1 commit: bfff9fc05e24a9d120d19b87d555a27e87d939cc built: 2025-07-15T18:14:16Z

weird, let me think

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 1:05 PM

#

I'll try reinstalling...

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

it's the latest

#

do you happen to have a Go toolchain or not?

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

No, I don't...

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

no worries, just checking

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

Hmm, no, I just uninstalled and then installed again, but no luck. Does it make a difference if I install using the shell command as opposed to homebrew?

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:09 PM

#

not really, one second, i'm investigating something i'll report back

#

can you show cat /tmp/container-use.debug.stderr.log

#

or just tail -30 /tmp/container-use.debug.stderr.log

#

Ah yeah, this is because you currently need to have Docker installed

#

https://www.docker.com/get-started/

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

Oh... I have podman, is that okay, too?

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

good question, clearly it didnt pick up podman

#

@lusty orbit do you know anything about how to get dagger to launch with podman ?

lusty orbit Jul 22, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

I haven't tried it, but if I'm right just to have a symlink called docker should solve the issue: https://docs.dagger.io/ci/integrations/podman

Podman | Dagger

Dagger can be used with any OCI-compatible container runtime, including Podman.

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

@cobalt onyx as a stopgap, try to add docker as a symlink to podman, but i don't recommend it much because podman has differences

lusty orbit Jul 22, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

And

Podman machine configured for rootful container execution.

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

ah thank you, i guess they recommend symlinking too

#

Next time you have weird issues with "docker" it'll likely be because of discrepancies between podman and docker

cobalt onyx Jul 22, 2025, 1:30 PM

#

Ok, that did it. the mcp server is now running! Thanks a lot!

valid junco Jul 22, 2025, 1:30 PM

Thank you Yves!

yeup! the work in https://github.com/dagger/dagger/pull/10714 should make this pretty much exactly as the default docker experience

awesome! The best way to review is to build a custom standalone CLI and Engine, right? Have to refresh my memory since I'm spoiled by dev | terminal

pine glacier Jul 22, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

yup 🎉

#

you can just do hack/dev

Hey Everybody, I noticed that the changes that are made to my repository with container-use get a different git user. I went to the documentation but haven't yet found anything about customizing the user that makes commits inside the container. Can anybody help?

Oh, interesting. Let me take a look. What user do you see?
