A practical guide to Quadlet - where unit files go, what every section does, how networks and volumes are wired, building images declaratively, auto-updates, and the specific errors that waste the most time. Includes the rootless requirements nobody mentions.
Part 3 of a journey learning how I set up my first VPS on Debian 13 Minimal. Getting rootless Podman working properly - the packages Debian Minimal leaves out, UID mapping, lingering, privileged ports, and running a first container as a systemd Quadlet service.
Part 4 of a journey learning how I set up my first VPS on Debian 13 Minimal. Putting Caddy in front as a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS - a private container network, persistent certificate storage, and a Quadlet unit that survives reboots.
