Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Quadlets were never meant as a drop-in replacement. The docker-compose tool works just fine on top of podman though. I personally use it to setup Jellyfin and Nextcloud.
That's why I used double quotes around the word drop-in (supposed to be a play on the whole preposition of podman being touted as a drop-in replacement to docker).
Even so, what is really the use of Quadlets if docker-compose works just fine? Is it supposed to be just a backup alternative to compose just incase something catastrophic were to ever happen to docker-compose? Why create two ways to do one thing? Seems rather confusing and misplaced.
I prefer the simplicity of docker-compose on top of podman myself for my self-hosting needs, but I imagine systemd integration to be advantageous in many ways. You can have your containers activated by a socket. You can configure your containers so that they depend on certain system services being up or available, giving you more fine grained control over your start up process. That's just off-the-top of my head as I have very limited knowledge of this aspect of podman, but I don't think it's meant as a backup. It just provides a more flexible solution for certain deployment scenarios, in exchange for more configuration complexity of course.
