PodmanClient::pull_image had a single attempt with a hard 600s wall
clock — on a fresh node, any image that legitimately takes >10 min to
download got killed mid-pull and failed the install. Podman keeps the
completed layers, so the user's retry started half-done and succeeded:
the exact "first install fails, second works" pattern reported for
btcpay and indeedhub (and earlier for LND, whose fix in 72d7fa07 only
covered the legacy install path — this is the same cure ported to the
orchestrator path both fresh installs and upgrades use).
A pull is now only killed when nothing is observably happening — no
stderr output AND no staged-byte growth in TMPDIR for 180s — or at a
1800s absolute ceiling, with 3 attempts and backoff on top. Dead
registries still fail fast (no bytes ever land). Failures now surface
podman's actual stderr tail instead of a bare exit status, and the
pull stages via the user's containers tmp like every other pull path
(rootless /var/tmp is read-only).
