My friend, a podman container file is a simple tiny ini text file. Behind the scenes it gets converted to a systemd service unit file, which is also an ini text file. The service file has a simple ExecStart command that just calls podman run. Meanwhile podman will just set up an environment and run the container with runc or crun. The whole thing is basically one step above a shell script. I could buildroot a system with this entire stack and it would fit on my wifi router.

You’re the one overcomplicating things.

How ironic.

That sounds heavy and complicated.

It’s neither. A systemd generator just transforms a simple 15 line container text file to a simple 20 line service text file, and then the container lifecycle and dependencies are managed by systemd like any other system or user service.

It’s not tightly coupled to anything. It just ships with a systemd generator allowing you to manage containers, pods or networks with systemd if you want. And lots of people are noticing the benefits of that arrangement.

And somehow more “independent” than arch, when it’s based on arch?

Remind me again why these people hate Iran? They seem to have more in common with the dead Ayatollah than anyone else.

But at double the price that they were a few months ago.
