Of Quadlets and Other Daemonless
summary
Shows how to run a WordPress + MariaDB stack using quadlets with Potman 4.4 by creating systemd --user unit files so containers run as an unprivileged user. Demonstrates creating a Podman/Potman network and systemd-managed volumes, running daemon-reload and systemctl --user start to auto-provision the containers, and verifies two active containers with WordPress reachable on port 8081. Argues quadlets replace ad-hoc podman run commands and avoid the overhead of a full Kubernetes deployment.
