Reproducible on Debian 12 / bookworm as well. $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libpod gets recreated on relogin but tmp subfolder of it does not. Recreating the tmp directory prior to running podmn solves the issue but the running containers dont survive logout.

Last seen June 23. All instances were on Debian 12, and we're now running 13, so I'm tempted to la-la-la sweep this under the rug.

@basilgello does this remain a problem/priority for you? And, have you tried (as root) loginctl enable-linger YOURUSERNAME?

[basilgello]

I do that and/or tmuxing but the patch is definitely on my list

[edsantiago]

No instances of the flake since my last post. All I can do here is close.
