There will be some security things that need to be turned off. Running a contianer privileged will turn off almost everything form a security perspective, and then running with some of the namespaces shared with the host. Something like podman run --privileged --network=host --pid=host ... auditimage Should work. Later tightening up the security should also be possible, but you would need to know what auditd needs access to. With all that said, I am not sure what you are trying to achieve by containerizing the audit daemon.
