Comment on Installing Jellyfin as a Podman Quadlet
exu@feditown.com 1 month agoI’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.

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.

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 statuswill tell me everything I need to know.barsquid@lemmy.world 1 month ago
What do you have set up for mesh VPN?

I use Yggdrasil now with a whitelist of public keys. Though I’m thinking about redoing my architecture in general to make key distribution easier, have more automated DNS entries and also use the tunnel for any node to node communication.
Before that I tried Tailscale with Headscale, but I didn’t want to have a single node responsible for the network and discovery.
