+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2155233 +++

Description of problem:
When running a ubi8/ubi-init:8.7 container using podman virt-what does not detect that RHEL is running inside a container when we try to register the system using the subscription manager the system is registered as physical machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
This behavior does not happen on ubi8/ubi-init:8.7 container. IT happens only using virt-what 1.25

How reproducible:
run a ubi8/ubi-init:8.7 using podman and execute virt-what

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start a ubi8/ubi-init:8.7
2.Run virt-what

Actual results:
#virt-what

returns empty output and return code 0

Expected results:
#virt-what
oci

returns oci (or other container engine) and return code 0

Additional info:
This behavior happens only using podman, the container workss properly using docker-ce.

A patch for the issue is attached, it simply adds oci among other possible options.

Hi, Alessandro

I can not reproduce this issue with the following steps:

On my rhel8.8 host:
# podman pull ubi8/ubi-init:8.7
# podman run -it ubi8/ubi-init:8.7 /bin/bash
[root@fa4c3c1ba2a1 /]# virt-what
podman
[root@fa4c3c1ba2a1 /]# rpm -q virt-what
virt-what-1.25-1.el8.x86_64


The output of virt-what is podman. I think it's expected according to the man page.

# man virt-what
...
podman
           This is a Podman container.

Is there anything I missed?

We face this issue on Fedora 37 with podman, which we use as development.

Environment
# podman --version
podman version 4.3.1
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 37 (Thirty Seven)

Steps to reproduce

Run the container:
# podman pull ubi8/ubi-init:8.7
# podman run -it ubi8/ubi-init:8.7 /bin/bash

Inside the container
[root@96d2e63f6cd9 /]# virt-what
[root@96d2e63f6cd9 /]# echo $?
0
[root@96d2e63f6cd9 /]# subscription-manager status
+-------------------------------------------+
System Status Details
+-------------------------------------------+
Overall Status: Unknown
System Purpose Status: Unknown

If we subscribe the container it is recognized as physical system.

Thanks. I can reproduce this issue with the following steps:

On Fedora 37 host:
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 37 (Thirty Seven)

# podman --version
podman version 4.3.1

# podman pull ubi8/ubi-init:8.7
# podman run -it ubi8/ubi-init:8.7 /bin/bash

Inside the container:
[root@2df77826f101 /]# virt-what
[root@2df77826f101 /]# rpm -q virt-what
virt-what-1.25-1.el8.x86_64
[root@2df77826f101 /]# cat "/proc/1/environ" | tr '\000' '\n' | grep container
container=oci

After applying your patch in the attachment:
[root@2df77826f101 /]# virt-what
oci
