Where Podman keeps its logs

Podman logs to ~/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay-containers/<id>/userdata/ctr.log on Linux.

Paths are printed exactly as Podman writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
