Ping stopped working with Debian base on Podman

Is it a duplicate question? No

Describe the bug Monitoring using Ping stopped working with error spawn EPERM after pulling latest Docker image 1.6 Public domains like google.com or IP addresses didn’t work either. Reverting back to the Alpine base with uptime-kuma:alpine fixed the issue. I’m also using HTTP and TCP monitoring and they work as expected.

To Reproduce

services:
  kuma:
    image: louislam/uptime-kuma
    container_name: kuma
    volumes:
      - /containers/uptime-kuma:/app/data:Z

Expected behavior Monitoring using ping should resolve correctly.

Info

• Uptime Kuma Version: 1.6 from louislam/uptime-kuma:latest
• Using Docker?: Podman 3.3
• OS: Fedora 34 (Server Edition) x86_64
• Browser: Firefox 92

Aha my bad! I’m actually using rootful Podman as a docker replacement with podman-docker, I should’ve mentioned it from the start. It probably comes down to differences in default capabilities. I edited my original post for whoever ends up in the same situation.

Can confirm! the following fixed the issue:

services:
  kuma:
    image: louislam/uptime-kuma
    container_name: kuma
    volumes:
      - /containers/uptime-kuma:/app/data:Z
    cap_add:
      - NET_RAW

I can submit a PR to add it to documentation if required. I’m still curious about why it worked it Alpine though, how does it bypass the permission…
