Running flyctl using podman requires setting the HOME variable

[CodeSandwich]

Describe the bug

Running this command:

podman run docker.io/flyio/flyctl -t "$FLY_API_TOKEN" auth whoami

Fails with:

Error accessing home directory $HOME is not defined
Error: $HOME is not defined

Running the same command with manually set HOME works fine:

podman run -e HOME=/ docker.io/flyio/flyctl -t "$FLY_API_TOKEN" auth whoami

It would be great if HOME didn't need to be manually set. Somehow in Docker it just works.

• Operating system: Fedora 41 with podman 5.3.0
• fly version: I tried container versions: v0.2.79, v0.2.93 and v0.3.44

It somehow works for me. Maybe because my podman is older than yours?

% podman --version
podman version 4.9.3
% podman run docker.io/flyio/flyctl -t "$FLY_API_TOKEN" auth whoami

23389176-c332-5126-af63-6c278a71ec3c@tokens.fly.io

And podman sets HOME

% podman run busybox env
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
container=podman
HOME=/root
HOSTNAME=a1db56e1a902
