I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

I used podlet on my compose file. I was a little disappointed in the limitations, as a lot of things like variable interpolation isn't available.

That said, the output made me wonder why I've waited! It was so much simpler than I imagined. It also helped demystify unit files a bit more.
