I did another generate today and after some tinkering with options got the below, and I don’t have a clue what went wrong in original post.

sudo podman generate systemd -n  -f --restart-policy=always sqlx22  >pdm2sysd.txtsudo cp container-sqlx22.service /etc/systemd/system

sudo systemctl enable container-sqlx22.service

works

# container-sqlx22.service
