Setting up Podman service for systemd socket activation

system-wide (podman service run as root)

copy the podman.service and podman.socket files into /etc/systemd/system
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable podman.socket
systemctl start podman.socket
systemctl status podman.socket podman.service

Assuming the status messages show no errors, the libpod service is ready to respond to the APIv2 on the unix domain socket /run/podman/podman.sock

podman.service

You can refer to this example for a sample podman.service file.

Note: replace @@PODMAN@@ with path to podman binary, such as /usr/bin/podman

podman.socket

You can refer to this example for a sample podman.socket file.

user (podman service run as given user aka "rootless")

mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
copy the podman.service and podman.socket files into ~/.config/systemd/user
systemctl --user enable podman.socket
systemctl --user start podman.socket
systemctl --user status podman.socket podman.service

Assuming the status messages show no errors, the libpod service is ready to respond to the APIv2 on the unix domain socket /run/user/$(id -u)/podman/podman.sock

podman.service

You can refer to this example for a rootless podman.service file.

Note: replace @@PODMAN@@ with path to podman binary, such as /usr/local/bin/podman

podman.socket

You can refer to this example for a rootless podman.socket file.
