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).

Absolutely possible if you keep the network setup simple. However, I run different sets of containers as different users, some of which also use services from the host itself (such as a PostgreSQL instance), and things quickly become more complex in these situations. The examples on the github helped me a lot to realise everything I wanted.

Gotcha, makes sense. Yeah my setup is very straightforward
