Hi,  
sorry to bother, I am completly blank on podman (and docker for that matter).  
I have migrated SuSE Manager 4.3 to V5.0, which runs on Micro 5.5 inside a podman container.  
Looks like dns name resolution does not work.  
I am completely clueless how to configure that. Can I just modify /etc/resolv.conf from within mgrctl term?  
Thanks for a hint.  
Regards, Igor

Hmmm… gave it a try just changing the file.  
Looks like it works.  
Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble at all. Glad you figured it out!

Hi there, the problem persists …  
I can sure change the file on the uyuni-server (after entering with mgrctl term), but after every reboot the /etc/resolv.conf is set back to original.  
IMHO the uyuni-server podman container should get name resolution from the sle micro 5.5 server it is running on. But I would not know if there is any special setting to do and where.

Thanks, Igor

Hi, just came to know this solution and I have already applied it and verified it works:

Create file on hosting system : /etc/containers/containers.conf

Content:  
[containers]  
dns\_searches = [“[xxxxxx.com](http://xxxxxx.com)”, “xxxxxxxx.it”]  
dns\_servers = [“”, “”]

Kind regards
