This might feel a bit heavy for some, but now with Systemd possibly going downhill by introducing ID verification at the operating system level, how do you guys plan on slowly moving your Podman setup away from Systemd? How do you plan on starting containers on bootup without Quadlets?

I have very limited experience with Podman and no experience with quadlets but I'm still curious. Are quadlets exclusive to Systemd?

I ask because I currently use Alpine Linux which uses OpenRC by default. It took a few days just to figure out how to get my HomeAssistant container to run without using a Docker Compose file. That's my only true experience with Podman so I don't actually know how dependant Podman is with Systemd.
