Podman rootless can't run init systems inside of container (Cgroup error?)
So, I'm currently running the Distrobox project on my Artix host device with s6. Distrobox is using Podman as a container host, because I very much enjoy the daemonless, rootless approach to containers which it presents.
I make my distroboxes with the --init flag, since I'm wishing to use some SystemD services within those containers for the sake of it. I'm also prodding about with Waydroid, and Distrobox offers a quick solution for a persistent Waydroid container.
Whenever I try to run the containers, everything goes perfectly alright, up to the final stage of the container's launching. This error pops up:
Failed to create /init.scope control group: Permission denied
Failed to allocate manager object: Permission denied
[!!!!!!] Failed to allocate manager object.
It looks to me like there's problems with the creation of Cgroups for Podman. I have searched for months, and found no solution. When running it as root with the Distrobox --root flag, it works perfectly; however I wish to be able to launch these without having to re-enter my password, seamlessly; and I don't want to be running my containers with root.
What could I possibly do to fix this?
