podman run -d -u 0 -p 8080:8080 -p 55555:55555 -p 8008:8008 --shm-size=1g --env username_admin_globalaccesslevel=admin --env username_admin_password=admin --name=solace --mount type=bind,source=$HOME/storage-group,destination=/var/lib/solace,ro=false solace/solace-pubsub-standard
k) Checking broker logs
If you want to access the debug logs and other broker runtime artifacts, you can access them inside the podman machine by opening an ssh session.
tail -f $HOME/storage-group/jail/logs/debug.log
At any point in time, if you want to recreate the setup - you can run the following commands and start the steps afresh.
Shutdown the machine:
podman container stop solace
Remove the machine:
podman container rm solace
Remove the storage directory:
rm -rf $HOME/storage-group
Run the steps from I, J, and K described above.
