Failing to pick up running containers in docker engine (ubuntu)

Bug description

Apologies, I’m not 100% sure if this is me being stupid or an actual bug but I’m really struggling to find any docs on it. Feel free to close it or point me in the right direction if I’ve missed something obvious!

I’ve installed and run Podman Desktop 3.4.4, I have both podman and docker engine installed. While podman-desktop is picking up the podman volumes, images, and containers it hasn’t picked up anything from docker engine, despite the extension saying it’s running.

I’m using docker engine for vscode dev containers since podman doesn’t quite seem to work with it yet.

I’ve taken a look at the dev tools console and the only errors and warnings I can see are the following although since I’m not running lima the error feels unrelated.

I can also see that it is activating the docker extension (it starts and ends just fine by the looks of things).

Operating system

Ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS - Jammy

Version

0.9.1

Steps to reproduce

• Install docker-engine + dependencies as described in docs - https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/.
• Run a container.
• Install podman-desktop 0.9.1.
• Open podman-desktop, and see that no containers, images, or volumes are discovered.

Relevant log output

Just as an update, it looks like this has landed on the flathub distribution now. Thanks again for all your help!

@BlueHatbRit I’m not sure if binaries are updated on flathub if we don’t bump the version so it would be either 2-3 hours or until the next 0.10.0 release of Podman Desktop
