Set of Podman systemd unit definitions ("Quadlets") for running Postiz, a social media management tool. These files we initially created with Podlet from the docker-compose.yml file in postiz-docker-compose, followed by quite heavy manual improvements.

These Quadlet files run fine with rootless podman.

We recommend running these services as a dedicated non-root user.

Create a new system user:

$ useradd postiz
$ passwd postiz

Create a global systemd Quadlet directory for the user:

$ mkdir -p /etc/containers/systemd/users/$(id -u postiz)

Copy all the files from this repository to the Quadlet directory:

$ cp *.container *.volume *.network /etc/containers/systemd/users/$(id -u postiz)/

Enable linger for the user:

$ loginctl enable-linger postiz

Then log out and log back in as the postiz user.

Create the volumes:

$ for volume in postiz-redis temporal-postgresql temporal-elasticsearch temporal-dynamicconfig postiz-config postiz-uploads postiz-postgresql; do podman volume create $volume; do

Create the networks:

$ for network in postiz temporal; do podman network create $network; done

Reboot, then log back in as postiz. You should see Postiz running at port 4007.

Note that you need to configure TLS or use a SSH tunnel and access postiz at http://localhost:4007. Otherwise the browser's authentication cookie will be rejected as it's passed through an unencrypted connection.

This repository containers several files for setting up an nginx HTTPS proxy in front of Postiz:

• postiz-https-proxy: directory with all the files required for the container to build.
  • quadlets: directory with the Podman Quadlets
    • postiz-https-proxy.build: enables automatically building the nginx reverse proxy image.
    • postiz-https-proxy.container: nginx container configuration.
    • postiz-https-proxy.env: contains environment variables that will configure nginx properly for use with Postiz (see nginx image documentation).

Check the files to see what parts need to be modified for use case. The current assumptions are the following:

• The container build directory is located in /home/postiz/postiz-podman-quadlets/postiz-https-proxy
• Certificates are mounted from a volume to /etc/letsencrypt

All the quadlet files need to be copied to the usual place, that is /etc/containers/systemd/users/$(id -u postiz)/.
