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.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Do you guys have any success with setting up an arr stack with rootless Podman Quadlets? I really like the idea of Quadlets, but I can't make it work.

Any guide and/or experience sharing would be greatly appreciated.

I have set up a Rocky Linux 10 with Podman 5.4.2 but after downloading the containers the quadlets were crashing.

Shall I continue digging this rabbit hole or shall I switch back to Docker Compose?

That's where UserNS=keep-id:uid=1000,gid=1000 comes into play. It "maps" the containers' user to your local user on the host to some extent, there is a deeper explanation of what exactly it does in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/24934

Well the pod only links the container together, it's not one systemd file. Every container has its own file, so does the pod and the network (separated by '---' in my code block above). You still can start and stop each container as a service separately or just the whole pod with all containers linked to it. Pods have the advantage that the containers in them can talk to each other more easily.

The network I just created to separate my services from each other. Thinking of it, this was the old setup, as I started using gluetun and run it as a privileged container, it's using the host network anyway. I edited my post above and removed the network unit file.
