I recently migrated my GitLab CI/CD pipeline from Red Hat 7 using Docker to Red Hat 8 using Podman. During one of the build steps in a GitLab runner, a curl command that previously worked fine now fails with the following error:

curl: (35) Insufficient randomness

Environment Details

• Previous setup: Red Hat 7, Docker, GitLab runners
• Current setup: RedHat 8, Podman, GitLab runners
• The curl command is executed inside a Podman container as part of a GitLab CI/CD job (with insecure option also -k)

I did try to install rngd to enhance entropy and I did extend space disks for podman but always the same probleme
