Issues running `supabase` locally with Podman

Hello everybody; I am just getting started with
supabase
supabase
and as a first step I was trying to run it locally on my Mac (Intel CPU) using Podman and a non admin user.
Trying to start a freshly created project (
npx supabase init
npx supabase init
) project from the CLI (
npx supabase start
npx supabase start
) I get the following error:
ERROR source{component_kind="source" component_id=docker_host component_type=docker_logs component_name=docker_host}: vector::sources::docker_logs: Listing currently running containers failed. error=error trying to connect: Permission denied (os error 13)

I got he same error trying to start
supbase
supbase
with
docker-compose
docker-compose
; after some fiddling with the configurations, I managed to get the docker compose stack to successfully boot up adding the following entries in the
docker/volumes/logs/vector.yml
docker/volumes/logs/vector.yml
file (fix suggested by Claude, that I am not fully aware of its impact on the overall configuration):
sources:
  system:
    type: journald
sources:
  system:
    type: journald


Unfortunately I am not aware on how to include this change also in the procedure activated via the CLI
start
start
command.

Does anyone can suggest where I can amend the Docker configuration used when running the CLI?

Thanks,

Giulio Cesare
