How to start podman compose containers on system boot? (lemmy.ca)

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?

Any idea how I can get Quadlet to start on system boot?

This worked! I searched through so many threads trying to find an answer, and this was the answer. Thank you so much. I only needed the below text added to my ~/.config/containers/systemd/my-custom-quadlet.container. Nice and simple:

Happy to help! Arch wiki is often a great resource even when using other distros
