Running a Container as a Systemd Service on Fedora and RHEL

There is some great documentation on this:

Even better there is a man page:

$ man podman-generate-systemd

The basic command looks like this, to be run on an existing running container:

$ podman generate systemd --name myfedora > ~/.config/systemd/user

Then stop the same container so we can test the systemd startup:

$ podman stop --name myfedora
$ systemctl --user start container-myfedora.service

To enable this at bootup:

$ systemctl --user enable container-myfedora.service
