Linux Server Containers as Root
The way in which the Linux server containers specifically and any container like them is are architected isn't really compatible with rootless Podman at this time. When I spoke to some of the dev team about it this week, their response was, well, we've targeted home server users that aren't using rootless Pod man. So we'll see where it goes and hopefully we can figure out a solution.

- Docker is deleting Open Source organisations — Yesterday, Docker sent an email to any Docker Hub user who had created an "organisation", telling them their account will be deleted including all images, if they do not upgrade to a paid team plan. The email contained a link to a tersely written PDF (since, silently edited) which was missing many important details which caused significant anxiety and additional work for open source maintainers.

- /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid configuration — Rootless Podman requires the user running it to have a range of UIDs listed in the files /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid.
- Using volumes with Podman — If your container runs with the root user, then root in the container is actually your user on the host. UID/GID 1 is the first UID/GID specified in your user's mapping in /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid, etc. If you mount a directory from the host into a container as a rootless user, and create a file in that directory as root in the container, you'll see it's actually owned by your user on the host.

- Remove not supported column comments for SQLite - Nextcloud — Some times column comments are used, e.g. to make clear an integer is used as a timestamp. For SQLite column comments are not supported and migration that use column comments will not work (see linked comment above for an example). Somehow it works when you have a clean install, then all migrations pass, but when executing single migrations they will fail.

SQLite is good for testing and simple single-user Nextcloud servers, but it does not scale for multiple-user production servers.
