Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1415

🐞 Describe the bug

Running ntfy in a rootless container via podman with --userns=auto leads to a number of errors that look like so:

Error: crun: open /var/tmp/intermediate-mountpoint-$UID/run/podman-init: No such file or directory: OCI runtime attempted to invoke a command that was not found```
💻 Components impacted

ntfy-server container (running rootless in podman) does not start

If I omit userns=auto ntfy seems to work rootless as expected. Alternatively, running podman as rootful with userns=auto also seems to work.

This does not seem to be a ntfy issue. If you provide more detail on what is going wrong with ntfy, we could discuss it further. But for now I'm closing this
