I see! So I am assuming you had to configure Nginx specifically to support this? Problem is I love using Nginx Proxy Manager and I am not sure how to change that to use socket activation. Thanks for the info though!
Man, I often wonder whether I should ditch docker-compose. Problem is there's just so many compose files out there and its super convenient to use those instead of converting them into systemd unit files every time.
Not really, in theory all you need is that environment flag to set the socket up. I would guess it would work with NPM if it respects it. I ended up with a custom built image originally to fix nameserver detection with named networks in Podman, and then expanded it with some sane defaults.
I do enjoy administering my containers through systemd but it's indeed an inconvenience if you want a more straightforward solution. Arguably using rootless Podman is already a major inconvenience, since you always hit some quirk or need to patch something up because images assume rootful Docker, so I don't mind going an extra mile to have everything set up as quadlets. I do consider using LXC every now and then for certain things just to make it easier in the long run, as matter of fact, I'm still pondering if I shouldn't just create an unprivileged LXC container for the reverse proxy instead of dealing with this (although it has been working mostly great so far).
