Yeah I could run them as regular systemd daemons themselves, but I would lose the easy isolation between different services and main OS. Feels easier to limit what the services have access to in the host OS by running them in containers.
I do run the containers as systemd user services however, so everything starts-up at boot, etc
What is your opinion on podman rootless containers?
In my mind running rootless containers as differe OS users for each application I'm hosting was an easy way of improving security and making sure each of those services could only mess with their own resources. Are there any known issues with that? Do you have experience with Podman? Would love to hear your thoughts
