podman generate systemd for kube

Description

It would be cool if there was something like a podman generate kube systemd kind of command.

The kube systemd is not a typo, but intentional - that (obviously) doesn't work today.

The idea would be that it would generate a suitable systemd unit using podman play kube (instead of podman run.

I imagine it would look something like my (manually cobbled together) https://github.com/vorburger/vorburger.ch-Notes/tree/develop/linux/coreos#podman-play-kube-in-systemd.

Well we could consider this more like

podman generate kube --systemd

Which would generate the kube yaml file along with a systemd unit file.

Would you be interested in opening a PR?

At first glance, it seems a bit like mixing apples and oranges. Why not use podman generate kube container/pod and then use podman generate systemd container/pod?

A systemd unit executing podman play kube is not supported since play kube is setting up a pod which requires one systemd unit file for the pod and for each container within the pod.

Well since no argument was made against @vrothberg suggestion, I am going to close. Reopen if you want to continue the discussion.
