  • Thank you for telling me about Podlet. I’ve been using podman-compose for all my containers but I’ve thought about converting them to systemd units. The only thing I’m unsure about is whether it’ll still be easy to access the container files. Currently I have a containers folder with a folder for each service inside it. Inside that, there’s the compose.yml and the folders with the container data. I map all container folders, with data that needs to be kept, to a folder that sits right next to the compose file. If it’s just temporary data (like caches), I oftentimes map it to a volume because it doesn’t matter if I lose it. Do you know if I can still do it like this (or in a similar way) if I use systemd units?




  • Those distros are fine, I haven’t heard anything bad about them. The only distros I wouldn’t recommend are Ububtu and Manjaro (I can explain why if you want).

    About Excel, it doesn’t work on Linux unfortunately. But you have some options. You can try LibreOffice and OnlyOffice (you can install them on Windows to try them out before switching) and see if they’re enough for your needs. There’s also a web version of Excel which you can use in your browser but it doesn’t have all the features. If you really need Excel, you can also try using a virtual machine with Windows and run it inside of that but dual booting might be easier for you at that point.



  • I use podman too and I set up hardware acceleration for Jellyfin. I’ll update this with how I did it once I’m home.

    Edit: Here’s my compose.yml (I use podman-compose):

    services:
      jellyfin:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
        container_name: jellyfin
        dns:
          - 9.9.9.9
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=Europe/Berlin
        volumes:
          - ./config:/config:Z
          - ~/drive/media:/media:z
        devices:
          - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
        ports:
          - 8096:8096
          - 7359:7359/udp
          - 1900:1900/udp
        restart: unless-stopped
