Originally created by @arousalspoon204 on GitHub (Aug 17, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin/issues/1296

Description:

When installing Pangolin with Podman instead of Docker, the installer fails to start the traefik container.

Steps to reproduce: installer.log

Run the installer on a Debian VPS.

Choose podman when asked whether to use Docker or Podman.

Proceed with the installation using default values.

Observe the container startup phase.

Observed behavior:

The installer attempts to run traefik with the following option:

--network service:gerbil

Podman does not recognize this option and exits with:

Error: invalid option for network service: unknown bridge network option: gerbil
exit code: 125

As a result, the traefik container is not created, and subsequent podman start traefik fails with:

Error: no container with name or ID "traefik" found: no such container

Additional issues noticed during installation:

The installer tries to stop/remove containers (traefik, gerbil, pangolin) before creating them, which results in repeated errors such as:

Error: no container with name or ID "traefik" found: no such container
exit code: 125

Despite failures, the installer still reports Installation complete!, which can be misleading.

Environment:

Debian 12 VPS (Hetzner)

Podman version 4.3.1

Pangolin installer (latest as of August 2025)

Summary:

The installer is not fully compatible with Podman due to unsupported Docker-specific networking syntax and error handling issues during container lifecycle management.

With podman version 5.4.0 everything is fine since the "--network service:gerbil" is correctly interpreted. I just tried it on RockyLinux 10.0.

To be fair I think the issue is not even with podman itself, but rather with podman-compose. I do not know exactly in which version of podman-compose the "service" option was introduced , but in the current version it works fine

You're right, everything works fine under RockyLinux. The problem is Debian with outdated tool versions.

Thank you very much for your help.
