Description Matthew Heon 2020-06-16 15:23:50 UTC

Description of problem:

After the first call to the `io.podman` Varlink socket, subsequent calls will fail as the socket has been removed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

podman-2.0.0-0.6.rc6.module+el8.3.0+7024+2421c176

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl start io.podman.socket
2. varlink call unix:/run/podman/io.podman/org.varlink.service.GetInfo
3. varlink call unix:/run/podman/io.podman/org.varlink.service.GetInfo

Actual results:

Second (and all subsequent) `varlink call` statement fails as `/run/podman/io.podman` is missing/removed after first `varlink call`

Expected results:

All calls to `varlink call` are successful

Additional info:

Fix is already in flight upstream as https://github.com/containers/libpod/pull/6619

Test with podman-2.0.0-0.9.rc7.module+el8.3.0+7084+c16098dd.x86_64. And now the socket will not be removed. So set this to verified. Details:
# varlink call unix:/run/podman/io.podman/org.varlink.service.GetInfo
{
  "interfaces": [
    "org.varlink.service",
    "io.podman"
  ],
  "product": "podman",
  "url": "https://github.com/containers/libpod",
  "vendor": "Atomic",
  "version": "2.0.0-rc7"
}
# varlink call unix:/run/podman/io.podman/org.varlink.service.GetInfo
{
  "interfaces": [
    "org.varlink.service",
    "io.podman"
  ],
  "product": "podman",
  "url": "https://github.com/containers/libpod",
  "vendor": "Atomic",
  "version": "2.0.0-rc7"
}
