Managing podman quadlets, users subids and such (feddit.cl)

So, I've finally gotten a comfortable setup for my beautiful podman quadlets, its a simple debian system, heavily systemd reliant, and I'm curious about how yall admin such a thing, I've got a couple of scripts to create users, skel the home directories, and templates for services.

I'm particularly curious about handling subids, I'm pretty careful about them and not using too too many, mostly for being afraid of running out of them lol. But from what I've seen, linux allows you to go real stupid with it, like having a shitton of range and entrances.

I personally give my quad users like 500 subids to work with and they generally work fine, it really depends on if I'm gonna have more than one service running on them or not.

I had no idea you could just use the subids from their respective etc files, I just followed what the podman documentation recommends, I like that the containermapping ids like this is def much simpler than creating users per process, and probably less resource intensive. thanks for sharing ur input :)

I'm also afraid of SELinux, def the way of having a more secure system, but I reaaaaaaally dont wanna get to more docs on linux hahaha.
