Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:	.`podman system connection add` automatically set the default connection Previously, the `podman system connection add` command did not automatically set the first connection to be the default connection. As a consequence, you must manually run the `podman system connection default <connection_name>` command to set the default connection. With this update, the `podman system connection add` command works as expected.	Story Points:	---

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2020-09-23 14:10:22 UTC

Did you enable the podman.socket in systemd?

# systemctl enable --now podman.socket

Comment 2 Brent Baude 2020-09-23 14:14:40 UTC

you need to enable a default connection with `podman-remote system connection default root`.  then it will work.

Comment 3 Brent Baude 2020-09-23 14:16:03 UTC

@jhonce, i thought if there were no connections and you added one, it would automatically become the default?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2020-09-23 15:30:44 UTC

We should just add this to Release notes for now, and it will be fixed in RHEL 8.3.1

Comment 16 Daniel Walsh 2021-01-28 12:10:38 UTC

Fixed in podman 3.0

Comment 28 Daniel Walsh 2021-03-18 13:40:11 UTC

Sure but I don't find any DocText field?

Comment 30 Daniel Walsh 2021-03-22 18:57:53 UTC

LGTM
