General system information: Air-Gapped network RHEL 8.9 patched up until May 2024 System is AD Joined via winbind /home is on a NFS volume Docker-ce version 3.26.0.0.1 installed via local docker repo setup with all packages from [https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/8/x86\_64/stable/Packages/](https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/8/x86_64/stable/Packages/) Modified the following: ```auto /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf user.max_user_namespace=0 to 1 or 1024 or 28633 ``` Modified /etc/subgid and /etc/subuid with the following: ```auto user01:165536:65536 user02:231072:65536 ``` * * * Setting up Docker Rootless for users, but fails to open. As normal user ran the following; ```auto $ cd /usr/bin $ dockerd-rootless-setup-sh install ``` Installation runs fine without failure ```auto $ systemctl --user start docker $ systemctl --user status docker ``` Service running without issue, all good here. ```auto $ docker info $ docker ps ``` All good here as well, no issues * * * ```auto $ docker image load -i ub8-minimal-8.9.tar 932e25b7e78c: Loading layer [==================================================>] 93.75MB/93.75MB open /root/.bash_logout: permission denied ``` This error occurs on multiple files. * * * Possibly a namespace issue, but i’ve followed the docker guides for installation and rootless setup. Any help is appreciated. ---

Is there anyone in the community that can assist with this? Docker starts/runs fine, but is producing the above mentioned error. Pretty sure i’m close, would just need a little guidance on the docker output. Unfortunately, Redhat does not support docker-ce on rhel 8.x, therefore support from them is not available. Redhat only supports Podman. ---

These instructions cover the different installation methods, how to uninstall, and next steps. This is the official guide, but it says x86\_64 (amd64) and aarch64 support on RHEL is experimental. I don’t think your issue would be because of the architecture, but could be. > [@tomfrye](#): > > `open /root/.bash_logout: permission denied` And it happens when you load the image from a tar file?

If newer versiona are available, I would try to install the latest which is 26.1.4 > [@tomfrye](#): > > `$ docker info` Please, share the output. Remove secrets like IP addresses or usernames if necessary before sharing. Until that, here is my guess: When you load an image, Docker has to extract the tar and move the files to the docker data root. Since you ran the command as a non-root user, if the files in the tar are owned by root, it is possible that Docker has no permision move the files, although that would not be an “open” operation. I never tried to load an image as a non root user, but I will test it soon. **EDIT:** I tried, it worked for me. > [@tomfrye](#): > > Is there anyone in the community that can assist with this? We don’t always notice all messages. Feel free to send a reminder after some days. 21 days was many 🙂 I also edited your question to make it more readable. That can also get you more answers.

Yes, the Install Docker Engine on RHEL to and extent, but I’m focused on ROOTLESS functionality, using these instructions, [Run the Docker daemon as a non-root user (Rootless mode) | Docker Docs](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/) - the goal is to allow our normal users (non-privileged) to be able to run docker as themselves. - I will try a newer version of the Docker packages. Thank you for the reply. ---
