A side-effect of running rootless and daemonless is that containers stop on user log out, and I can't believe how all this is to be expected for a newcomer to parse. Because I thought the whole point of containers in production was for them to keep running when you log out.
Of course, when you think about it, nobody expects a command to just survive logging out, but coming from docker, you still have that expectation. And I wonder, am I supposed to be running this on a tmux like the old days? No, you need to do a bunch of systemd/linger/stuff. So being that we are already in systemd land, you keep searching and end up in quadlets, which are a new-ish thing with (last I checked) bad docs, replacing whatever was used before (which has good docs). Docs, being said, that give k8s ptsd. Quadlet, podlet and pods.
It seems that when podman deviates from docker, it does in the least ergonomic way possible. Or maybe I have been lobotomized by years and years of using docker, or maybe my patience threshold is very low nowadays. But this has been my experience. I felt very stupid when I deployed something and it stopped after 5 minutes. I was ready to use podman, because it worked locally. And then it failed in production. Thanks no.
