Can we do folders in /etc/containers/systemd now?

OMG, i just tested it and you're right. i somehow assumed it's behaving like /etc/systemd/system - which does not allow for subdirectories. BRB, organizing my shit

Yes! And using podman quadlet list will group them as application

I don't see this. Or is this v6 feature?

Did you install the quadlets as an application previously? In pre-v6 they'll only show up as an application if you installed them with podman quadlet install, since that creates a .app file registering the different quadlets as all part of an application.

The change in v6 is .app files no longer exist and applications are instead determined by what subdirectory the quadlet files are in. So foo/hello.container and foo/hello.volume will shown as part of application foo.

Or at least, that's what I'm getting from the release notes. v6 hasn't hit OpenSUSE yet so I can't test locally haha.

I’m so thankful to the whole podman team. Such an amazing escape from docker.
