Hi everyone,
This would seem to be a basic question (I’ve been on this for a few hours and can’t seem to get it working).
This is my file for my pod:
$ cat backup.pod
[Unit]
Description=backup pod
[Pod]
Network=slirp4netns:port_handler=slirp4netns
PodmanArgs=--userns=auto:size=10000
PodName=backup
And this is the file for my container which is supposed to be part of the pod:
$ cat backup.container
[Unit]
Description=backup container
[Container]
Image=docker.io/debian/debian:latest
ContainerName=backup-container
Entrypoint=/bin/bash
Exec=/bin/bash -c "apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get install rclone vim -y && exec bash"
Pod=backup
GlobalArgs=-d -t
[Service]
Restart=always
[Install]
# Start by default on boot
WantedBy=multi-user.target default.target
- Podman’s
systemd-generator
doesn’t seem to create any service file forbackup.pod
in/run/user/$(id -u user)
. I do see a service file forbackup.container
,backup.service
. - Regardless,
systemctl start backup.service
errors out anyway.
I’m unable to understand how to use quadlet
from the documentation. AFAIK I did everything they asked (https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-systemd.unit.5.html).
The primary reason why I tried this was because I couldn’t figure out how to create a pod using compose.yaml
either. If someone has answers to these questions, they would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
Apologies for not answering earlier. I have since switched over to
podman generate kube
andpodman play kube
for managing my podman infrastructure. This plays in well with my plans since I can’t be dependent on systemd going forward. Thank you for your help.With that said, I wanted to ask another question: when I try to run a container with
podman run debian
, it automatically pulls the debian container without a problem, however how is it that when I typepodman pull docker.io/debian/debian
it requires auth?Pretty sure that the registry path for official images is “library” (at least it used to be). So it should be “docker.io/library/debian”, though I can’t double check at the moment.
You’re right, except the problem was that I was on an old version of Podman (Debian problems lol) where Quadlet wasn’t even available
