With docker-compose, containers would start on boot. It was maybe because I had restart: always on.

Is there a way something similar with podman-compose?

I see mentions of creating custom systemd scripts to run podman-compose to start containers, but is there something already baked in podman-compose that I can use?

I implemented these, but my containers are not starting on system boot. I even set restart: always

Might be obvious but did you enable the Quadlets? So systemctl enable quadlet.service or whatever the equivalent is. I think the quadlet is just a regular systemd unit.

Edit: I noticed you already got an answer!

No need to enable, it won't work nor do anything. Do need to systemctl --user daemon-reload
