I love podman. Simple, easy, elegant and secure way to run various services for my personal purposes - homelab, social networks, websites, you name it.
What I don't love is to make the services run properly for the first time. Last time, I spent a few hours creating proper quadlet and digging into official container itself to make it run rootless and with proper permissions of the underlying user, so I could actually work with the data as the user who runs the podman...
... but after that, it's all sun and joy. I even started to put autoupdate to non-critical quadlets and so far, it works like a charm. Always the latest version of the service.
Compared to what I used to do when I was administering Windows machines or even linux ones years ago, this is a breeze.
Sorry for long podman appreciation post, it may happen again with some other tech in the future.
