mkdir -p /run/user/$(id -u)/containers
cp -v ${LOCAL_SECRET_JSON} /run/user/$(id -u)/containers/auth.json

Build own certified-operator-index

OPM is sometimes difficult: * min Podman version 2 (Bug 1894167 - OPM fails to create a pruned index image) * Work-a-round use podman directly

Install Dell CSI Operator via OperatorHub/OLM

and you got an error:

$ oc get pods -l name=dell-csi-operator -n openshift-operators

Because the Dell CSI Operator use images names and not full image urls:
