Podman Autostart cointener

[jarx88]

Podman containers do not automatically start after a system restart. Is there a possibility to, after a few seconds from the system start, send a start command to all managed containers?

Currently, I bypass this by creating a service in /etc/systemd/system/ like

[Unit]
Description=dockge homepage container
Wants=syslog.service
[Service]
Restart=always
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30
ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman start -a homepage
ExecStop=/usr/bin/podman stop -t 10 homepage
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and systemctl enable --now dockge-homepage.service

Doesn't podman-restart.service do this for containers that are configured to always restart?

Or rc-update add podman boot if using OpenRC.

Thanks a lot! I've created the service /etc/systemd/system/podman-restart.service

[Unit]
Description=Podman Start All Containers With Restart Policy Set To Always
Documentation=man:podman-start(1)
StartLimitIntervalSec=0
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
Environment=LOGGING="--log-level=info"
ExecStart=podman $LOGGING start --all --filter restart-policy=always
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c 'podman $LOGGING stop $(podman container ls --filter restart-policy=always -q)'

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

and work perfect
