Apart from maybe podman does not work on guix.
Podman does work, but there is no built in service to configure it correctly.
Snippet from my system configuration:
(simple-service 'subugid-config etc-service-type
`(("subuid" ,(plain-file "subuid" "wolf:100000:65536\n"))
("subgid" ,(plain-file "subgid" "wolf:100000:65536\n"))))
(simple-service 'containers etc-service-type
`(("containers/storage.conf" ,(plain-file
"containers-storage.conf" "[storage]\ndriver = \"btrfs\"\n"))
("containers/policy.json" ,(local-file
"files/policy.json"))))
And files/policy.json:
{
"default": [
{
"type": "insecureAcceptAnything"
}
],
"transports":
{
"docker-daemon":
{
"": [{"type":"insecureAcceptAnything"}]
}
}
}
After that, guix shell podman -- podman run --rm hello-world .

No idea about distrobox, but the above should get the podman working.
