podman: Rootless podman on CircleCI fails to even build with error running container: from /usr/bin/crun: sd-bus call: Permission denied

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

I select bug here but this is more a question about what the assumptions are about the setup and what could be causing the crun / sd-dbus Permission deniced / Interactive authentication required failure or what configuration change to try.

Description

I try to add testing https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-container on CircleCI on their Ubuntu 22.04 VMs.

Compared to GitHub Actions Ubuntu 22.04 where this works without issues once a session gets created by ssh to self, on CircleCI where loginctl shows that we already have session I’m hitting

STEP 2/2: RUN date
error running container: error from /usr/bin/crun creating container for [/bin/sh -c date]: sd-bus call: Permission denied
: exit status 1
Error: error building at STEP "RUN date": error while running runtime: exit status 1
Exited with code exit status 125

or with podman from download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable/

STEP 2/2: RUN date
error running container: from /usr/bin/crun creating container for [/bin/sh -c date]: sd-bus call: Interactive authentication required.: Permission denied
: exit status 1
ERRO[0003] did not get container create message from subprocess: EOF 
Error: building at STEP "RUN date": while running runtime: exit status 1
Exited with code exit status 1

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Have .circleci/config.yml in your project’s repo with content to install podman and build an image with it in rootless fashion

version: 2.1

jobs:
  build-image:
    machine:
      image: ubuntu-2204:edge
    resource_class: arm.medium
    steps:
      - run: sudo apt-get -y update
      - run: sudo apt-get -y install podman
      - run: podman version
      - run: podman info
      - run: apt list podman
      - run: loginctl
      - run: ( echo FROM quay.io/centos/centos:stream9 ; echo RUN date ) > Dockerfile.circleci
      - run: podman build -f Dockerfile.circleci .

workflows:
  test-podman:
    jobs:
      - build-image

1. Enable CircleCI, push, watch the pipeline output.

podman build -f Dockerfile.circleci .

Describe the results you expected:

No error, image built.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

The loginctl shows we are running in a session:

SESSION  UID USER     SEAT TTY
     c1 1001 circleci      

1 sessions listed.

I also tried systemd-run --scope --user and ssh to self to no avail. It seems like we have session alright, it just needs some permissions somewhere.

I get this on the CircleCI Ubuntu VMs in deterministic fashion. When I change the

      - run: sudo apt-get -y update
      - run: sudo apt-get -y install podman

steps to

      - run: sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
      - run: curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/Release.key
             | gpg --dearmor
             | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/devel_kubic_libcontainers_unstable.gpg > /dev/null
      - run: echo
             "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/devel_kubic_libcontainers_unstable.gpg]
             https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable/xUbuntu_$(lsb_release -rs)/ /"
             | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel:kubic:libcontainers:unstable.list > /dev/null
      - run: sudo apt-get update -y
      - run: sudo apt-get install -y podman skopeo

to test with the latest podman per https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#ubuntu, the output is slightly different but still error:
