A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I created this guide on how to install Jellyfin as a Podman Quadlet on your server. Enjoy.

Why would someone want containers managed by systemd instead of just having them run like normal? What is the advantage?

Also if you use cockpit or some equivalent GUI to manage your containers, do you have to give it permission to control all systemd services?

I'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.
