Do you guys have any success with setting up an arr stack with rootless Podman Quadlets? I really like the idea of Quadlets, but I can't make it work.

Any guide and/or experience sharing would be greatly appreciated.

I have set up a Rocky Linux 10 with Podman 5.4.2 but after downloading the containers the quadlets were crashing.

Shall I continue digging this rabbit hole or shall I switch back to Docker Compose?

You can actually set your user to linger with

sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER

I will test your setup and report back if it works.

By the way what was the reason to switch back to Docker Compose?

Cool, didn’t know that :)

The reason for it was that I found myself fixing weird issues, like the one with the UID map and also an issue where containers couldn’t talk to each other outside of the container network (a container couldn’t talk to another container that used host networking).

I was happy to figure out how to do quadlets, and still prefer dem from a security point of view, but found myself spending more time than I wanted fixing things when I already had a fully working arr stack compose file (which has something like 18 containers in it, that I would need to port).

Now granted I could probably just have run podman-compose, and knowing myself I’ll probably try that later as well :)

Let me know how it goes!
