alt Hacker NewsThe problem is not systemd vs SysV et al, the problem is systemd spreading like a cancer throughout the entire operating system.
Also trying to use systemd with podman is frustrating as hell. You just cannot run a system service using podman as a non-root user and have it work correctly.

Err... You just need to run `podman-compose systemd`?
I have my entire self-hosted stack running with systemd-controlled Podman, in regular user accounts.
Quadlet actually solves this. It's the newer way to define containers for systemd and handles the rootless user case properly. I migrated my services to it recently and it's much more robust than the old generate scripts.
