Hey what is the advantage of quadlets over normal podman-compose?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Podman compose is not maintained and should not be used.

Qualets leverage systemd and a Kubernetes like system to create deployments that are much more dynamic. Basically you can manage your containers just like any other resource

Who says that it is no longer maintained? https://github.com/containers/podman-compose Looks fine to me?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Does it support the docker compose plugin / v2 API (the 'docker compose' plugin and not the old 'docker-compose' command)?

It's literally maintained by Fedora. Not sure why he claimed that.

I have not seen quadlets before, that's really neat.

Thanks!

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

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.
