/kind bug

Description

Sets proxy settings in containers.conf

Creates and start a podman machine.
Then stop the machine and restart it
machine is not starting

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Add proxy settings in containers.conf file

[containers]

[engine]
  env = ["https_proxy=http://10.0.0.123:9191"]

[machine]

[network]

[secrets]

[configmaps]

Create/start a machine

$ podman machine init --now

This machine is currently configured in rootless mode. If your containers
require root permissions (e.g. ports < 1024), or if you run into compatibility
issues with non-podman clients, you can switch using the following command:

	podman machine set --rootful

API forwarding listening on: /Users/benoitf/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/podman-machine-default/podman.sock

The system helper service is not installed; the default Docker API socket
address can't be used by podman. If you would like to install it run the
following commands:

	sudo /usr/local/Cellar/podman/4.1.1/bin/podman-mac-helper install
	podman machine stop; podman machine start

You can still connect Docker API clients by setting DOCKER_HOST using the
following command in your terminal session:

	export DOCKER_HOST='unix:///Users/benoitf/.local/share/containers/podman/machine/podman-machine-default/podman.sock'

Machine "podman-machine-default" started successfully

run a container

$ podman run --rm quay.io/podman/hello

This only happens with the custom proxy env in containers.conf?

benoitf · 2022-06-17T12:06:01Z

yes if I remove the proxy setting in the containers.conf file it works fine

No I just linked this issue by accident, this was not fixed in #14665

Luap99 · 2022-07-11T14:17:45Z

Can you try with podman from latest main, this will return a proper qemu error. I guess this is the same as #14837 (comment)

qemu fails when the same `fw_cfg` options is used more than once. Since the current logic always adds a new option on each machine load this will fail on the second start. We can fix this by checking if the option is already set and replace but I think it is easier to just not commit the option in the config and add it dynamically on start. User that hit this bug have to recreate the machine. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Fixes containers#14636 Fixes containers#14837 Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <[email protected]>
