# Podman

In the meantime i'm using slackware current and I had issues to install
podman via `sbopkg`. If sbopkg isn't working i'm using `guix` to install
additional packages.


## Installation

    $ guix install podman

Before starting podman I had todo some additional steps


## virtiofsd

Install `virtiofsd` via sbopkg.
This is installed under `/usr/libexec`.

   $ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/libexec


## BIOS/UEFI changes

Check if Virtualization is enabled in the UEFI.

    $ lscpu | grep Virtualization

This wasn't enabled on my T14s, so i had to install it manually.


## KVM Module

Check if kvm module is already loaded.

    $ lsmod | grep kvm

This module wasn't enabled. I had to load it.

    $ sudo modprobe kvm_amd


## Permissions

Checking the permissons of file

    $ ls -l /dev/kvm

This file is owned by root and group `kvm`.
So i had to add me to the `kvm` group.

    $ sudo usermod -aG kvm $USER

Logout/Login to activate group membership.


## Start

    $ podman machine init
    $ podman machine start
