I removed the command to mount dropins and the container was started successfully.

hi @abdulmateen-1

would you tell us

• which docker you used? DockerDesktop, RancherDesktop, Colima, or other?
• run mvn -version

[abdulmateen-1]

Hi @gkwan-ibm

I used podman and podman desktop to run the application
This is my output of mvn --version

Apache Maven 3.8.6 (84538c9988a25aec085021c365c560670ad80f63)
Maven home: C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.8.6
Java version: 17.0.4, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-17.0.4.8-hotspot

[gkwan-ibm]

hi @abdulmateen-1

• Is your Win also installed docker too? I mean only podman?
• which podman desktop you used? would you point to us so that we can try it out?
  Thanks

[abdulmateen-1]

Yeah I have docker daemon installed on my Win and not the Desktop. I don't have the desktop installed.
I used podman desktop v1.0.1

[gkwan-ibm]

download from https://podman-desktop.io/?

[abdulmateen-1]

Yes it was downloaded from there, I know there is a new release but I've not yet updated it.

Hi @abdulmateen-1,

I was able to reproduce the issue with the similar configuration (Win 10, Java 17, Maven 3.8.8, Podman Desktop). I observed that this issue occurs when executing the command mvn liberty:devc while the Docker service is disabled, and the Podman service is running by Podman Desktop, leading to the error you mentioned.

The problem arises because mvn liberty:devc defaults to use Docker rather than Podman, especially if Docker is installed on the system (The devc goal will continue to use Docker service even if the Docker service is not running). Consequently, in this scenario, the devc goal attempts to utilize the Docker service, unaware that it is actually being run with Podman service.

To address this issue, I recommend enabling only the Docker engine/Desktop without the concurrent activation of the Podman service, or uninstalling the Docker engine/Desktop and using Podman exclusively.

Moreover, you may have encountered a deprecated error while attempting to execute the devc goal.

[ERROR] DEPRECATED: The legacy builder is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
[ERROR]             BuildKit is currently disabled; enable it by removing the DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0
[ERROR]             environment-variable.
[ERROR] 

Please be advised that to resolve this error, it is recommended to update the liberty-maven-plugin version in the pom.xml file from 3.8.2 to 3.10. An upcoming guide update will also address this issue.

<plugin>
   <groupId>io.openliberty.tools</groupId>
   <artifactId>liberty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.8.2</version> --> update to 3.10
</plugin>

Could you please try these solutions to see if they resolve the issue? Thank you.

[abdulmateen-1]

Sorry for the late response, that resolved the issue
