Hi all, the time has finally come to bring back the blog 
I recently got sick of building Erlang from source and switched to building and running containers with Podman and systemd, so I thought I’d write a minimal guide on how to deploy that way. The Phoenix guides are pretty focused on PaaS so I hope this can serve as a helpful alternative!

Nice post. Very thorough, and covers everything I was expecting.
Totally agree with you on the Quadlet naming convention. They’re just systemd unit files?! I hadn’t touched those, but I thought they were a whole other thing.
How did you come up with the name “corporate.fm” for your website?

Well, technically I think they are somehow compiled into actual systemd units. Podman introduces additional syntax (e.g. [Container] and so on). I have no deep understanding of the mechanism by which this happens, but my experience learning about containers thus far tells me that if I did understand it I would probably be horrified. Maybe ignorance is bliss.
The abstraction does leak a bit, though.
It’s a reference to the megacorporation in Deltron 3030
