Hi,
If I install and run Db2 (Community Edition) using podman it fails with a error stating the host name is invalid. I initially thought it was due to the random generated hostnames, but manually set hostnames cause the same error.
E.g.
podman run -itd --name mydb2 --privileged=true -p 50000:50000 -e LICENSE=accept -e DB2INST1_PASSWORD=password -e DBNAME=testdb -v ~/podman/db2/testdb:/database docker.io/ibmcom/db2
Resulted in a db2icrt.log file containing:
