Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I'm eternally sitting here putting off migrating my homelab from docker to rootless podman due to some rather janky patterns I use. It might be super smooth or it might not so instead I just wait in endless decision paralysis
how are you trying to run podman?
If you just want a similar setup as with docker I'll recommend this:
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/rootless_tutorial.md
Lingering (running services without login / after logout)
https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/12001
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/462845/how-to-apply-lingering-immedeately#462867
https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/vendor/github.com/containers/storage/storage.conf
Check out the storage.conf to use the fuse-overlay driver.
I like podman-compose and i have a start up script that restarts all my containers at reboot, as my user.
Also use the full link to your images, like docker.io/image oder where ever you get your images from.
have fun :)
I ended up just adapting my composes to run commands, on my desktop I don't mind having to manually start them at boot, I could easily make a simple thing to just run at boot and just say
podman run <container>as most of my containers depend on others so I can just start the child-most container and it'll start them all. I just have some shenanigans where I use one container as a VPN for the other ones, which is a bit messy if using rootless. I'll have a look into the links and see if there's anything new in there I haven't seen before but yeah, nothing unsolveable I'm just needlessly putting things off lolFind a new service you like, add it using rootless podman. That way you can test it without affecting your running system.
I more mean replacing the runtime etc, I've got some running on another machine and had some difficulty wrapping my head around the subuid and subgid stuff, so in theory I should be fine but it's an irrational worry lol
