Problem creating cluser using Kind with Podman on Rocky Linux 8 about kind

[BenTheElder]

https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/rootless/

sudo update-grub

updating grub will only take affect on rebooting, but you appear to be on cgroup v2 already

systemctl --user restart podman

podman is usually daemonless which is why we don't mention this for podman

However rootless podman also documents: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/rootless/#:~:text=On%20some%20distributions,kind%20create%20cluster

did you try systemd-run?

Sorry forgot to mention that, but yes I did try that systemd-run as well and get the same error.

[BenTheElder]

kind is detecting if the environment is correct, this error means we don't see the correct cgroup controllers available:

kind/pkg/cluster/internal/create/create.go

Lines 252 to 253 in b39bf4d

	if !info.SupportsMemoryLimit || !info.SupportsPidsLimit || !info.SupportsCPUShares {
	return errors.New("running kind with rootless provider requires setting systemd property \"Delegate=yes\", see https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/rootless/")

Can you try rocky linux 9? It's possible this has been fixed in the distro. Rootless containers is relatively more recently stabilized.

Unfortunately upgrading is not an option for me. I was able to gain access to a remote cluster so I don't necessarily need this up and running, but it is concerning that the error message being provided here doesn't provide a full solution. I also tried to manually set certain permissions in my cgroup like so:

echo +cpuset | sudo tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
echo +cpu | sudo tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
echo +memory | sudo tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
echo +pids | sudo tee /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control

but the CPU kept failing. That portion seems to be more of a Rocky OS problem so I wouldn't expect that to be figured out here.

The error message is just a hint, the docs for rootless are here: https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/rootless/
