Podman build image error. Transport endpoint is not connected

English Applications

Hello,

I use openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I install podman with

sudo zypper in podman

I want to build a dockerfile with content:

FROM ubuntu:18.04
RUN apt-get -y update
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y install avogadro openbox
CMD "avogadro"]

I build it with

podman build . -t avogadro

Error I got below. Thanks in advance.

I tried to find the error about transport endpoint online, but could not fine relevant info.

I don’t think this is podman, or the container runtime. It seems a network error. You can try running “podman build --network host” so it doesn’t create a network namespace.

Based on the specific error,
Are you running your command with required permissions (elevated)?
IMO it’s likely the term “transport” is misleading, the problem is that the file at the specified location is inaccessible, either the file wasn’t written to that location or the file is there but can’t be read(If it matters to you, you can browse to that location on your system to see if the file is there).

BTW - Questions like this which are about containers are more often posted to the Virtualization forum where all virtualization and closely related containers (which is isolated multi-tenant) technologies are discussed.

Thanks for reply.
I did it again just now, and image build just fine, maybe upstream issue.

Thanks.
