Podman systemd files

Rather than copying compose files or running podman run as systemd services you can generate quadlet files to define containers that run at boot.

Podlet generates quadlets - systemd files specifically for containers.

You generate quadlets from compose files like so:

docker run \
    -v ./compose:/compose \
    -v ./quadlets:/quadlets \
    quay.io/k9withabone/podlet \
    -f /quadlets \
    -i \
    --overwrite \
    compose /compose/grafana-compose.yaml

Copy these files to /usr/share/containers/systemd/

iperf3

podman run \
    -v ./compose:/compose \
    -v ./quadlets:/quadlets \
    quay.io/k9withabone/podlet \
    -f /quadlets \
    -i \
    --overwrite \
    compose /compose/iperf3-compose.yaml

pihole

podman run \
    -v ./compose:/compose \
    -v ./quadlets:/quadlets \
    quay.io/k9withabone/podlet \
    -f /quadlets \
    -i \
    --overwrite \
    --wants network-online.target \
    --after network-online.target \
    compose /compose/pihole-compose.yaml

Grafana

podman run \
    -v ./compose:/compose \
    -v ./quadlets:/quadlets \
    quay.io/k9withabone/podlet \
    -f /quadlets \
    -i \
    --overwrite \
    compose /compose/grafana-compose.yaml
