Cannot run bootc container on localhost - getting "connection refused"

[zdohnal]

Hi,

I'm a bootc newbie, following https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/getting-started/ . I have following Containerfile:

FROM quay.io/fedora/fedora-bootc:41
RUN dnf -y install setup
RUN dnf -y install cups && dnf clean all

which I build by:

podman build -t localhost/zdohnal/cups:bootc bootc/cups

and then try to run by bootc:

$ podman machine init --rootful --now
$ podman-bootc run --filesystem=xfs localhost/zdohnal/cups:bootc

but the last command ends with error:

$ podman-bootc run --filesystem=xfs localhost/zdohnal/cups:bootc
Trying to pull localhost/zdohnal/cups:bootc...
Error: unable to install bootc image: failed to pull image: initializing source docker://localhost/zdohnal/cups:bootc: pinging container registry localhost: Get "https://localhost/v2/": dial tcp [::1]:443: connect: connection refused

Do you know what can be the issue? podman-machine, podman-bootc do not have any service to run, and podman service running does not have any effect.

OS: Fedora 41
Podman:

podman-5.3.2-1.fc41.x86_64
podman-machine-5.3.2-1.fc41.x86_64
podman-bootc-v0.1.1~123~g96bfc8f-1.20241210141826117469.main.123.96bfc8f.fc41.x86_64

Thank you in advance!

I have tried to install podman-docker package (due having docker in the URL in the error, so I thought it is issue of bad name), but no change.
