Do you guys have any success with setting up an arr stack with rootless Podman Quadlets? I really like the idea of Quadlets, but I can't make it work.

Any guide and/or experience sharing would be greatly appreciated.

I have set up a Rocky Linux 10 with Podman 5.4.2 but after downloading the containers the quadlets were crashing.

Shall I continue digging this rabbit hole or shall I switch back to Docker Compose?

nice 👌 , this is what I've been looking for, out of interest, as you have split all the containers out of the pod now do you have a setup guide for this ? or similar to above showing maybe an examples of the global.env file and network setup ?

do you find Flaresolverr is still a reliable option ? I've seen mention of alternatives like Byparr

Sorry didn't find the time until now to reply. Also in the process of migrating everything to my Kubernetes cluster, so this is not as up to date in regards to image versions as it should be.

This is my current setup, with only qBittorrent and SABnzbd going through the Gluetun VPN container. Everything else just uses my regular home internet:

The global.env file only contains env variables like TZ or the PUID and PGID which are used in almost all my containers.

Thank you so much for this, I managed to cobble together a working stack after asking the question, but your unit files have quite a few additions, I've since added these to my setup.😊

I had to use byparr in place of flaresolverr and for port forwarding to be updated to qbittorrent I had to use a sidecar container qsticky.

I also had issues with gluetun dropping the forwarded port sometimes hours sometimes days after setting it. I've since switched to latest for gluetun as it has some fixes, that may work. I'll test it for a while to see if it improves or possibly switch to hotio's image of qbittorrent with vpn support.
