.SH NAME
podman-unshare \- Run a command inside of a modified user namespace
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpodman unshare\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIcommand\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Launches a process (by default, \fI$SHELL\fP) in a new user namespace. The user
namespace is configured so that the invoking user's UID and primary GID appear
to be UID 0 and GID 0, respectively. Any ranges which match that user and
group in \fB/etc/subuid\fR and \fB/etc/subgid\fR are also mapped in as themselves with the
help of the \fInewuidmap(1)\fP and \fInewgidmap(1)\fP helpers.
.PP
\fBpodman unshare\fP is useful for troubleshooting unprivileged operations and for
manually clearing storage and other data related to images and containers.
.PP
It is also useful to use the \fBpodman mount\fP command. If an unprivileged user wants to mount and work with a container, then they need to execute
\fBpodman unshare\fP\&. Executing \fBpodman mount\fP fails for unprivileged users unless the user is running inside a \fBpodman unshare\fP session.
.PP
The unshare session defines two environment variables:
.IP \(bu 2
\fBCONTAINERS_GRAPHROOT\fP: the path to the persistent container's data.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBCONTAINERS_RUNROOT\fP: the path to the volatile container's data.
.PP
\fIIMPORTANT: This command is not available with the remote Podman client.\fP
.SH OPTIONS
.SS \fB--help\fP, \fB-h\fP
Print usage statement
.SS \fB--rootless-netns\fP
Join the rootless network namespace used for netavark networking. It can be used to
connect to a rootless container via IP address (bridge networking). This is otherwise
not possible from the host network namespace.
.SH Exit Codes
The exit code from \fBpodman unshare\fR gives information about why the container
failed to run or why it exited. When \fBpodman unshare\fR commands exit with a non-zero code,
the exit codes follow the \fBchroot\fR standard, see below:
.PP
\fB125\fP The error is with podman \fB\fIitself\fP\fP
.EX
$ podman unshare --foo; echo $?
Error: unknown flag: --foo
125
.EE
.PP
\fB126\fP Executing a \fIcontained command\fP and the \fIcommand\fP cannot be invoked
.EX
$ podman unshare /etc; echo $?
Error: fork/exec /etc: permission denied
126
.EE
.PP
\fB127\fP Executing a \fIcontained command\fP and the \fIcommand\fP cannot be found
.EX

.SH EXAMPLE
Execute specified command in rootless user namespace:
.EX
$ podman unshare id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),65534(nobody)
.EE
.PP
Show user namespace mappings for rootless containers:
.EX
$ podman unshare cat /proc/self/uid_map /proc/self/gid_map
0 1000 1
1 10000 65536
0 1000 1
1 10000 65536
.EE
.PP
Show rootless netns information in user namespace for rootless containers:
