@hotsause@mastodon.social If I take Grafana as an example:
1. Create service account user "grafana"
2. su grafana
3. Copy the podman quadlet file to the folder"~/.config/containers/systemd" so the podman quadlet runs rootless as the user "grafana"
4. systemctl --user daemon-reload
5. systemctl --user start grafana
One disadvantage is that "podman ps" no longer shows the status of all running containers of this host, since the containers are no longer running under the same user.
Edit: Also enable linger for the user, otherwise you get warnings and the user is not able to autostart the containers on boot

@niclas@infosec.exchange ah, thanks for the explanation! I'm currently running everything in docker but I'll have a closer look at podman now
