Yes all users that have containers running, that should keep running need lingering.

The Services do not restart themself. I have cronjob that executes podman start --all at reboot for my "podman user".

I'm running podman and podman-compose with no problem. And I'm happy. At first I was confused by the uid and gid mapping the containers have, but you'll get used to it.

This are some notes I took, please don't take all of it for the right choice.

Podman-Stuff

https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/docs/tutorials/rootless_tutorial.md

storage.conf

To use the fuse-overlay driver, the storage must be configured:

.config/containers/storage.conf

[storage]
  driver = "overlay"
  runroot = "/run/user/1000"
  graphroot = "/home/<user>/.local/share/containers/storage"
  [storage.options]
    mount_program = "/usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs"

Lingering (running services without login / after logout)

sudo loginctl enable-linger <user>

Yeah, I did not know it is that bad....

You don't want the nextcloud to be public for everyone, then I'd go the tailscale route without a vps. Just connect your Server and phone.

If you want it to be public, then I'd still use tailscale and do it like the other comment suggested.

Reverse Proxy on vps connected to tailscale, proxzies the traffic through the tailnet to your server. That's what I'm doing btw.

This is how I did it.

I recommend this: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/20_zigbee2mqtt-fails-to-start.html#method-1-give-your-user-permissions-on-every-reboot

with that and also read the tipp after that I was troubleshooting my permission issues.

This should apply to gpu too.

But does this matter if you just want this to be locally accessible and you're running your own dns?

You need a wildcard cert for ypur subdoman:

*.legal.example.com

Then point that record to 127.0.0.0. This will not resolve for anyone. But you'll have an internal dns enty (useig pihole/adguard/unbound) that redirects to your reverse proxy.

You could also point to your revers proxy internal address instead of 127.0.0.0.

Sorry I have no idea how traefik works, but I've seen that this new video ist out. It might help you.

Yes... That is also my understanding.

I do. If you run caddy with network_mode: hostor better with network_mode: "slirp4netns:port_handler=slirp4netns" it should work.

also adding:

cap_add:
      - net_admin
      - net_raw

Podman + Caddy does it for me.

You need to adjust the "minimum" port a user can bind. Podman tells you how to do it (or a quick google search).
