The following list categorizes the known issues and irregularities with running Podman as a non-root user. Although currently functional, there is still a number of work items that are under consideration to be added. These proposed changes are in varying degrees of design and development.
Contributors are more than welcomed to help with this work. If you decide to carve off a piece and work on it, please create an issue in [GitHub](https://github.com/containers/libpod/issues), and assign it to yourself. If you find other unexpected behavior with rootless Podman and feel it’s warranted, please feel free to update this document.
* There is potential we could probably do some sort of blacklisting of the relevant plugins, and add a new plugin for rootless networking - slirp4netns as one example and there may be others
* [(Can be fixed by setting sysctl on host)](https://github.com/containers/libpod/blob/master/troubleshooting.md#5-rootless-containers-cannot-ping-hosts)
* Issues with higher UIDs can cause builds to fail
* If a build is attempting to use a UID that is not mapped into the user namespace mapping for a container, then builds will not be able to put the UID in an image.
