Rootless podman cannot bind ports <1024, only root can by default (on pretty much any distro I guess). Have you done something like
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80to allow non-root processes to bind to port numbers >=80?I've read about that and I already have that in my notes as well.
It doesn't really affect my needs because my ISP blocks incoming on those ports anyways. Also I'm choosing not to use a tunnel at the moment so I'll be using a higher port anyways.
The last time I asked about it, a few people seemed to agree it was something to do with the firewall settings. That seems most likely since I was able to connect when I disabled my firewall. I'm not a fan of working with iptables. The language for that type of networking is gibberish to me.
I had also tried going from docker compose to rootful podman compose and ran into the same issue. Although I'm trying to work away from podman compose in the future, just taking it in steps.
