Well, I can see that they give a docker container on the installation
page. Does anyone have any clue on how to do it inside podman?

Disclaimer: Note, I haven't tested this out.

The [Dockerfile](https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd-
docker/blob/master/Dockerfile) contains

    RUN addgroup -g 10000 -S inspircd
    RUN adduser -u 10000 -h /inspircd/ -D -S -G inspircd inspircd

A wild guess, try setting

    uid=10000
    gid=10000

and follow the troubleshooting tip [https://github.com/containers/podm
an/blob/main/troubleshooting.md#34-passed-in-devices-or-files-cant-be-
accessed-in-rootless-container-uidgid-mapping-problem](https://github.
com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooting.md#34-passed-in-
devices-or-files-cant-be-accessed-in-rootless-container-uidgid-
mapping-problem)

That would map your regular user's UID/GID on the host to UID 10000
and GID 10000 in the container.

At the web page [https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd-
docker](https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd-docker) it's written
*Notice: In case you provide an empty directory make sure it's owned
by UID 10000. Use chown 10000 directory to correct permissions*

As you would map your regular user's UID to UID 10000, such an empty
directory should instead be owned by your regular user, in other
words, something like

    mkdir /path/to/your/config
    podman run --name inspircd \
      -p 6667:6667 \
      -v /path/to/your/config:/inspircd/conf/:Z \
      --user $uid:$gid \
      --uidmap $uid:0:1 \
      --uidmap 0:1:$uid \
      --uidmap $(($uid+1)):$(($uid+1)):$(($subuidSize-$uid)) \
      --gidmap $gid:0:1 \
      --gidmap 0:1:$gid \
      --gidmap $(($gid+1)):$(($gid+1)):$(($subgidSize-$gid)) \
        docker.io/inspircd/inspircd-docker

(no need for `chown 10000`)
