Bug: Postfix not launching with podman

[cdivriotis97]

Hi,

First of all, thank you for your work on this project.
I am opening this issue because I am currently unable to start the container image docker.io/lbr38/repomanager:latest, and after debugging it looks like the failure happens in the Postfix setup.

What happens

The container exits during startup with:

postfix/postlog: fatal: mail system startup failed

Environment

• Podman
• running as root
• SELinux enforcing
• also tested with --privileged
• same behavior

Run command

Example:

podman run -d --name repomanager \
  -e FQDN=repomanager.example.org \
  -e MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=32M \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  -v /root/repomanager/data:/var/lib/repomanager:Z \
  -v /root/repomanager/repo:/home/repo:Z \
  docker.io/lbr38/repomanager:latest

Logs

The container logs end with:

[INF] Starting postfix...
...
postfix/postlog: starting the Postfix mail system
postfix/postlog: fatal: mail system startup failed

Debugging performed

I started a shell inside the image and checked Postfix manually.

/etc/mailname is missing

Running:

postfix check

initially returns:

postfix: fatal: /etc/mailname: cannot open file: No such file or directory

So Postfix expects /etc/mailname, but it is not present by default.

After providing /etc/mailname, I checked the active Postfix configuration with:

postconf -n

But I still got :

[INF] Starting postfix...
...
postfix/postlog: starting the Postfix mail system
postfix/postlog: fatal: mail system startup failed

root@da17ee10dd74:/var/lib/repomanager# postconf -e "myhostname = $FQDN"
root@da17ee10dd74:/var/lib/repomanager# echo "$FQDN" > /etc/mailname
root@da17ee10dd74:/var/lib/repomanager# cat /etc/mailname
repomanager.example.com
root@da17ee10dd74:/var/lib/repomanager# /usr/sbin/service postfix start
Starting the Postfix mail system: /etc/postfixpostfix/postlog: starting the Postfix mail system
postfix/postlog: fatal: mail system startup failed
 failed!

Postfix configuration appears to be applied correctly at container startup (myhostname and /etc/mailname are set, postfix check returns success), but service postfix start still fails. During startup, /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid is created, but no master process remains running afterwards and no runtime sockets are created in /var/spool/postfix/private or /var/spool/postfix/public.

If useful, I can provide the full command output from:

• postfix check
• postconf -n
• postfix start-fg
• podman inspect

May be you could try with docker first to see if it works?

You could also try with SElinux disabled

Hello,

I tried at home with docker and podman and it works well.
I wanted to set up it in my company but yes we have several security layers.
I disabled SElinux, it did not change the output of the repomanager logs.

If you have any idea where I can look or test.
I still do not understand why I got this verbosity coming from the pod when I start it for postfix.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I would say that the FQDN env var is not propagated into the container which results in empty values for /etc/mailname and /var/www/repomanager/.fqdn (you can also check this file).

If the theory is correct, then you will have to dig what security policy is preventing this. I don't have a clue.

Hello,

Just to let you know, I made it work but it was hard.
I had to execute our home made init.
I add this in the beginning of the init script :

set -x
diff -u /init "$0" || true
chmod 755 /
chmod 755 /usr /usr/bin /usr/lib /var /var/www /run /etc || true
chmod 755 /lib /lib64 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /var/www/repomanager /run/php || true
chmod 644 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 || true
chmod 755 /usr/bin/php8.4 || true

It seems that I do not have this interface : https://docs.repomanager.net/configuration/source-repositories/#import-a-source-repository-gpg-signing-key
I do not have the possiblity to add / modify a GPG key (see screenshot).

All the best,

Hello

Glad you find a way to start repomanager. Did you manage to find what was causing this issue?

All the best,

You have to add a Release version (for example 9) to the source repository. Then you will be able to manage GPG keys for this release (because GPG keys are often linked to a specific release).

Otherwise you can import the grafana repository using the Import button. It will create all release versions and GPG keys for you.
