    Mate, I’m just posting what is on Plex’s own website. Their words, not mine. You might be able to opt out of this if you’re lucky, or maybe its off by default - idk. But let’s face it Plex is on a heavy enshittification roll, rolling faster than the contestants running for Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling contest. Ain’t nothing stopping them from enabling this for all users much like what Roku did last year.

    You can conscent to whatever you like. I’m not touch Plex with a stick.
















  • 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 👍
