reavessm [1] [2] 1. id -u returns user id, not username
2. `podman run --rm -it -p 8080:80 nginx` correctly runs the nginx container and I can visit `localhost:8080` on the windows host and see the nginx test page. When launching the container I get a warning about using cgroups-v1 which is deprecated. `podman run --rm -it -p 80:80 nginx` correctly tells me `Failed to bind port 80 (Permission denied) for option '-t 80-80:80-80', exiting`. `sudo podman run --rm -it -p 80:80 nginx` does not give a nice error message. It breaks the terminal with a repeating message of `internal:0:0-0: Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory`
