Container always fails to start

[CodePhase]

I am attempting to run this container on a RHEL 8 host using podman. I have used it in the past on the same type of system but, due to a system failure I lost that host. I am trying to get this container working on another host with a similar configuration. Unfortunately I have no idea what version I had running in the past.

I have tried multiple versions of the container and they all fail to start. I have tried running them with and without the 'init' argument to set up the environment. I get this error with 'latest':

sudo podman run -it --rm --name protonmail --network protonmail-20 --mount type=bind,source=/var/local/protonmail-bridge,target=/root --security-opt label=disable shenxn/protonmail-bridge:latest

I get a different error with the 'init' argument. I've also seen a suggestion to try version 2.4.8-1:

Running this version with 'init' fails with a similar error:

I have tried launching the container and having a bash prompt. When I run the commands manuall (entrypoint.sh and also protonmail-bridge --cli) I get the same results. I have tried running those commands and checking 'top' when they fail and there is no instance of protonmail running. I have seen the advice to kill a rogue instance of it but none exists.

I'm sure it's got to be a problem with my host. Has anyone else been seeing this? Anything I could try to get it working again?

I am absolutely seeing the SAME thing.
I'm trying to run this container with Ubuntu running as a VM under Proxmox.
Is there anything we can do to help each other track the problem down?

Exact same problem here, I've tried everything I could so far, but no dice..
