I am playing with ansible-runner and receptor and was wondering how is the container image passed to the remote node

```auto
ansible-runner transmit ./EE --playbook site.yml --container-image hci-ee | receptorctl --socket /var/run/receptor.sock work submit -f --node receptor -p - ansible-runner | ansible-runner process /tmp/

```

but on the remove system no pods

```auto
podman images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE

```

Is thier a step im missing or is their some other magic at work here

I am re-posting [my comment on the Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/!rJZqLunHvjmQNneIaS:libera.chat/$s9DMdJYRQxwMLE53Grq9LWNOFKmH2A12qbpDrvhwSRc?via=ansible.com&via=libera.chat&via=matrix.org) as this may be helpful for some users in the future.

> You should place `./EE/env/settings` and add `process_isolation: true` to it. Without this configuration, worker process invokes ansible-playbook directly on remote node instead of using container.

Hi @aheath1992! It looks like the post might be solved - could you check to see if the response by @kurokobo worked for you?

If so, it would be _super_ helpful if you could click the ✔ on their post to accept the solution - it recognises the input of others, helps our volunteers find new issues to answer, and keeps the forum nice and tidy.

Thanks!
