Comment on Podman Quadlets are so cool
Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 week agoThank you for telling me about Podlet. I’ve been using podman-compose
for all my containers but I’ve thought about converting them to systemd units. The only thing I’m unsure about is whether it’ll still be easy to access the container files. Currently I have a containers
folder with a folder for each service inside it. Inside that, there’s the compose.yml
and the folders with the container data. I map all container folders, with data that needs to be kept, to a folder that sits right next to the compose file. If it’s just temporary data (like caches), I oftentimes map it to a volume because it doesn’t matter if I lose it. Do you know if I can still do it like this (or in a similar way) if I use systemd units?

The spec for quadlets has a few dedicated homes for the .pod, .container, etc. files. You can absolutely mount directories or files wherever (
%h
is$HOME
for systemd unit files). See the Volume description for Container unit files: docs.podman.io/en/…/podman-systemd.unit.5.html#vo…
