Podman Quadlets

Pre-requisites

When using rootless podman a directory under the user's home directory must be created for the quadlet files.

mkdir -p ~/.config/containers/systemd

Container

A container quadlet file must end with .container in the ~/.config/containers/systemd directory.

Example quadlet file to run a deluge container (deluge.container file):

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

[Unit]
After=mullvadvpn.service

[Container]
Image=docker.io/linuxserver/deluge:latest
Volume=/opt/container/deluge/downloads/:/downloads
Volume=/opt/container/deluge/config/:/cofnig

[Service]
# Restart service when sleep finishes
Restart=always
# Extend Timeout to allow time to pull the image
TimeoutStartSec=900

All the options for the quadlet file can be found in the podman documentation.

systemctl --user daemon-reload
