I ran a podman quadlet setup as a test some time ago. My setup was a little like this:
- Create a pod if the app uses multiple containers
- Create a seperate network for each app (an app is either a single container or multiple containers grouped in a pod)
- Add the reverse proxy container to all networks
- I don’t expose any ports to the host unless necessary
If you create a new network in podman you can access other containers and pods in the same network with their name like so container_name:port
or pod_name:port
. This functionality is disabled in the default network by default. This works at least in the newer versions last I tried, so I have no idea about older podman versions.
For auto-updates just add this in your .container
file under [
section: ]
[Container]
AutoUpdate=registry
Now there’s two main ways you can choose to update:
- Enable
podman-auto-update.timer
to enable periodic updates similar to watchtower - Run
podman auto-update
manually
# Check for updates
podman auto-update --dry-run
# Update containers
podman auto-update
Yeah obsidian’s pretty nice. I use the daily notes feature built into it for my journal.
