Solace PubSub+ Event Broker Rootless

[Deleted User]

The Problem:
Solace PubSub+ Event Broker software users have wanted to run PubSub+ containers rootless. This how-to aims to evaluate how to accomplish this with PubSub+ v9.4 and Podman from a container namespaces security stand point.

What is Podman:
Podman is a daemonless container engine. It is a drop-in replacement for Docker, such that alias docker=podman works just fine. Podman is gaining popularity as a secure Docker alternative. It was created by RedHat as an opensource project. It has enterprise support and features for Kubernetes and OpenShift.

Podman

Docker

Correct. The current PubSub+ message broker on Solace Cloud is v9.3.1.17. Our Cloud Team plans to roll out v9.6 as the next load. This rollout will begin in August and take a month or so to complete.
