Can anyone execute this in rootless mode without running into?

podman run -t registry.opensuse.org/devel/openqa/containers15.4/openqa_webui
Trying to pull registry.opensuse.org/devel/openqa/containers15.4/openqa_webui:latest...

EDIT: It works after increasing the range in the files mentioned in the error accordingly.

One can use podman run -v ./container/webui/test-cert.pem:/etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt:z -v ./container/webui/test-key.pem:/etc/apache2/ssl.key/server.key:z -v ./container/webui/test-cert.pem:/etc/apache2/ssl.crt/ca.crt:z -v ./container/webui/conf:/etc/openqa -t registry.opensuse.org/devel/openqa/containers15.4/openqa_webui but then it of course fails because the database isn't reachable. Not very surprising considering we don't start the database within that container. Not sure whether that's wanted.

Speaking as a user who is just following the documentation I don't necessarily have an expectation where the database runs. But it should be documented and if the container requires another container it should fail with an error that tells me what it needs.

With a few changes to the startup script and config one could start the database within the container as well. It is not that bad considering even openQA-local-db is already installed in the container anyways.

podman image build --tag='openqa_webui_local_build' .

Discussed in unblock meeting 2023-04-12. As reference see https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/pages-for-subheaders/rancher-on-a-single-node-with-docker#option-a-default-rancher-generated-self-signed-certificate so we should support "Default Self-signed Certificate" when no options are specified, e.g. like podman run registry.opensuse.org/devel/openqa/containers15.4/openqa_webui while also support https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/pages-for-subheaders/rancher-on-a-single-node-with-docker#option-b-bring-your-own-certificate-self-signed "Bring Your Own Certificate, Self-signed"
