Compared to libvirt there is an annoyance with Podman - that dockur Windowslogs in automatically (since by default Dockur user has no password) - which prevents launching Windows apps withWinApps.
Therefore in order to use WinApps I:
(1) first had to launch a web-browser and navicate to port http://127.0.0.1:8006/
(2) then to sign out of Windows session
(3) and only then I could launch a program
So here is a short guide for setting a password in Podman Dockur Windows
to stop autologin - for those who are unfamiliar with Windows - like I am.
(1) Launch Dockur Windows and seach for netplwiz
(2) In the window that opens check that users must enter a password is crossed and then choose Advanced tab
(3) In the Advanced tab choose again Advanced in Advanced user management, in the window that opens select Users, right click Docker and select Set Password
After password is set WinApps with Podman works as expected. Naturally one also has to set user and password as Docker and the password you have created at ~/.config/winapps/winapps.conf
(I had WinApps already configured and when I reinstalled WinApps with ./setup.sh it gave ERROR CODE 14. I had to once log in to Windows and sign out - then everything was OK)
@oskardotglobal Would it be a good idea to add this or similar to Podman install instructions?
