Percona on podman with bind mount on /var/lib/mysql not working

Question

I spent an entire day on this with no progress. Percona/MySQL documentation was read and followed, here is the result.

On RHEL/Alma

/srv/percona/my.cnf.d and /srv/percona/mysql are both empty, selinux turned off to debug this.

sudo podman run \
    --name=percona-server \
    --publish=3306:3306 \
    --mount=type=bind,src=/srv/percona/my.cnf.d,dst=/etc/my.cnf.d \
    --mount=type=bind,src=/srv/percona/mysql,dst=/var/lib/mysql \
    percona:ps-8

No error messages, empty podman logs percona-server, container kills itself with exit code 1

sudo podman run \
    --name=percona-server \
    --publish=3306:3306 \
    --mount=type=bind,src=/srv/percona/my.cnf.d,dst=/etc/my.cnf.d \
    percona:ps-8

This command works, the problem must be the /var/lib/mysql directory.

I read that permissions must be set for the user inside the container. The container runs mysql user with 1001:1001 ID.

Doing a sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /srv/percona/mysql doesn't change anything.

I have another user on the host system with 1001:1001, if I change ownership with sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /srv/percona/mysql there is a collision.

What could the problem be?

What do I do to debug it?
