I have not seen quadlets before, that's really neat.

Hey what is the advantage of quadlets over normal podman-compose?

Why would someone want containers managed by systemd instead of just having them run like normal? What is the advantage?

Also if you use cockpit or some equivalent GUI to manage your containers, do you have to give it permission to control all systemd services?

I've been managing my containers using the older mechanism (systemd-generate) since I started and it's great. You get the reliable service start of systemd and its management interface. Monitoring is consistent with all your other services and you have your logs in exactly one location.

I really wouldn't want a separate interface or service manager just because I'm running containers.

[–] Lem453@lemmy.ca 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Do you run other things on your system other than containers? I have a VM that only runs containers so it really doesn't do anything else with systemd apart from the basics so I'm curious if there would be any advantage to me switching.

[–] exu@feditown.com 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Most VMs only run containers, but I have supporting services on every host as well. Stuff like the mesh VPN, monitoring agent or firewall.
If I want a quick overview, a quick systemctl status will tell me everything I need to know.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What do you have set up for mesh VPN?

Why would you not want containers managed by systemd?
You get the benefits of containerisation and you don't have to learn the arcane syntax of some container engine or another.

Cool :)
