Podman, rootless containers work well, and there is no central process running everything. I like that starting containers on boot is integrated with systemd.
How do you automatically start podman containers? I currently just manually add systemd entries but that’s a lot more cumbersome than Docker which doesn’t require you to do anything at all.
I use Quadlet, which is now merged in podman. The only issue I had with it is running system systemd services as other (rootless) users, I can’t get it to create cid files that the users can access. In those cases only, I have to modify the generated services files, which defeats the purpose.
Since I use Docker Compose with Podman, I just make a single systemd service to run Docker Compose on boot, thereby starting all my containers at once.
That’s an interesting way to do it. Do you have everything in 1 compose file?
i would like to try… but as far as i know, there is no “docker compose up -d”
