[code]
  On void linux.

  Under `/etc/containers/` there is a file called `registries.conf`. It is complemented by `man 5 containers-registries.conf`.

  Change (for me lines 11-12) which say

  [registries.search]
  registries = []


  to

[registries.search] registries = ['docker.io']

  Without the above you won’t be able to use basic podman functions. You might get errors like:

  Error: unable to pull fedora:28: image name provided is a short name and no search registries are defined in the registries config file.
  Error: unable to pull stripe/stripe-cli: image name provided is a short name and no search registries are defined in the registries config file.


  Various documentation (redhat blog entries, man podman pages) say that dockerhub is a default, but without this step it’s clearly not.
  Good luck. Feel free to use the comment box below if you have a github account.

By default podman will not pull images from docker.io and will need setup. This guide worked for me.
