Ooops, I did it again

These days I’ve been toying with NextCloud and PodMan, discovering a nice guide. The one I liked more tells us to use quadlets.

I struggled to follow it as I got some errors when issuing

systemctl --user start nextcloud-pod.service

After a little investigation I discovered why: quadlets are not available in the podman versions I was using either on my local machine and on the lowly, humble little server I was setting up. In fact I got version 4.9 and (gosh!) 4.3, while quadlets are available only in version 5.

Having a long time (~25years) Debian users I discovered that podman 5.0 is available only in experimental!.

So, following my superior apt techinique that allows to install some packages from experimental while keeping most on the system stable with some parts from testing or unstable I issued:

sudo apt update
sudo apt -t experimental install podman

I think I will create a variant of the guide I followed. Because I still haven’t dwelved all the details
