Description

Add the necessary --userns option string to instructions for using Podman to build via the toolkit container image. Switch the Note type to "Important" because without adding this option, building using Podman fails.

Motivation and Context

This fixes Issue #639. See that issue for full details and rationale for this change.

How Has This Been Tested?

I tested the full podman command given here (within Ubuntu WSL2 and in our Jenkins CI/CD environment) as part of my org's migration from Docker to Podman in our CI/CD environment several months ago. We run the DITA-OT 4.2.3 container image (with some custom plugins installed) in production for our docs builds for every docs PR and active branch within several repos. I also verified this Podman command & option with the DITA-OT 4.3 container image.

Type of Changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

Documentation and Compatibility

No further change needed to the docs. No changes need for user plug-ins. All docs changes are in this PR.

I wrote the change in this PR in a version-agnostic way so that we just can cherry-pick this it to the other docs release branches. This does not break backwards compatibility or other users' overrides.

Checklist

The following checklist items are not applicable because this is a docs-only change that doesn't change the DITA-OT toolkit itself, only the instructions for one of the container engines used to run it:
