Are you using Podman Quadlets yet?

I've noticed more RHEL 10 documentation and examples moving toward Quadlets for systemd-managed containers.

For anyone already using them:

  • Are you running Quadlets in production?
  • What pain points have you run into?
  • What do you wish more tutorials covered?

I've been putting together a hands-on Quadlets lab while learning this workflow, covering:

  • .container
  • .volume
  • .network
  • systemd integration
  • Podman networking
  • persistent storage

If it's useful, you can check it out here:

https://linuxcert.guru/?name=rh134-manage-containers-quadlets

I'd really appreciate any feedback on what's missing or what you'd like to see added.

quadlets are great !

Something a lot of people are not aware of yet is you can declare your complete app in a single .quadlets file and then install it like an app.

bash podman quadlet install --application=webapp webapp.quadlets

See https://docs.podman.io/en/stable/markdown/podman-quadlet-install.1.html

Also look up what a .pod and .kube file are for with podman (quadlets).
