[Error] Error: initializing source docker://localhost/

[naclander]

Describe the bug
Using podman, cloning an existing image seems to be broken for some use-cases. See https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/distrobox-cloning-fails-on-aurora/5269

To Reproduce
distrobox create --name archlinux2 --clone archlinux

Expected behavior
Clone succeeds.

Seems it really does find the container in that location:

DEBU[0000] Image archlinux:2024-12-23 resolved to local image localhost/archlinux:2024-12-23 which will be used for pulling 

Then it tries to ping/pull it and fails:

DEBU[0000] Ping https://localhost/v2/ err Get "https://localhost/v2/": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:443: connect: connection refused (&url.Error{Op:"Get", URL:"https://localhost/v2/", Err:(*net.OpError)(0xc0003a1db0)})
