Finally, Podman has a Docker Compose alternative

Would this be useful if I wanted to setup Plex debrid on my jellyfin server? It has a couple of tmux sessions that randomly get killed. Would setting them up instead as pods work?

    I started using Quadlets recently and it’s great to have declarative configs for containers all managed with systemd. It only gets good with Podman version 5 though, 4.4 doesn’t support .pod files, which I use quite heavily.

    Not sure what Plex debrid does, but anything managed by a good service manager (like systemd) is more reliable than starting a shell session and hoping it doesn’t die.

    My main complaint about Quadlet is that resources for it are fairly limited, so thanks for linking this post!

    And yes, quadlet would definitely make managing Plex easier. That post seems to hit all the gotchas I’ve run into, so definitely consult it as you run into issues.

    First of all quadlets do not have to be pods. Second … Are you currently running pod an commands just in tmux? Like each pod a tmux session? In that case quadlets is definitely an improvement.
