I switched a few years back and use Quadlets instead of compose now. Converting compose files to Quadlets is pretty mechanical once you get the hang of it.

Highly recommend Podman overall; there are some quirky edge cases, but for the most part it’s a smooth replacement for Docker.

If you don’t want to give up compose entirely, podman-compose exists. I just prefer Quadlets so I haven’t used it much myself.

Do you have a good canonical source on this conversion? I’ve tried the conversion tools that came out around the release of podman v4 and again with v5. But somehow the files being generated contained deprecated features which pointed me to use different commands which led me to yet again different structures which when executed in systemd brought me back to what I originally had. I never got it to work fully.

Have you tried podlet[0]? Not entirely sure if it's compatible with podman v6 [0] https://github.com/containers/podlet

Yes. I think podlet was one of the tools that the output of podman, or the quadlet tool, suggested I use.

I will try again. Currently I have a systemd service that tries to start my services with `podman compose `. Sometimes this fails, when I start the service interactively it just works. Unknown what exactly is the issue.
