Yeah, I typed "quadlet" and "man quadlet" in the podman machine VM, but it does not find any man page for quadlet.

Quadlet executable is only in the machine. It is executed by systemd at boot time and daemon-reload. /usr/libexec/podman/quadlet Quadlets look like standard systemd unit files with a stanza for [Container] or [Pod] or [Kube] or [Volume] or [Network] > > > On Monday, August 12, 2024 at 09:21:46 PM GMT+3:30, Daniel Walsh < dwalsh(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: > > > > > > > On 8/12/24 12:37, Mehdi Haghgoo wrote: > > >> > Dan, I don't find a man page for Qualet with the "man Qualet" command.

So, even after checking out your RH article, I don't get exactly what they do more than systemd unit files. Are they more manual?
