Investigate and document any differences in generated unit files across major Linux distributions.

Known differences to check

  • Binary paths: /usr/bin/podman vs /usr/local/bin/podman on some distros
  • WantedBy target names
  • User unit lingering requirements (loginctl enable-linger) for rootless containers
  • SELinux considerations on CentOS/AlmaLinux
  • docker.service vs podman.socket as dependency depending on distro defaults

Deliverables

  • docs/distros.md with per-distro notes
  • Consider a --runtime-path config option or auto-detection via which
  • Test matrix in CI if possible
