Setting up Podman on server in local network to connect with

[HappiePlant]

Hello!
I've been trying to use this wonderful app to connect to podman on my mini server in my local network, I don't need to root mode or anything but I have no clue what port number I need or if I need to setup anything. I don't have much experience with Podman.

Thank you!

no clue what port number

You can use any port that's available and to that you connect through your local network.

On your mini server, you can for example run

podman system service --time=0 tcp://0.0.0.0:37017

With pods you can then connect

You should also probably create and enable a systemd unit to start the podman service automatically

[Unit]
Description=Podman TCP socket
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman system service --time=0 tcp://0.0.0.0:37017

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Thank you for your reply! It turns out firewalld wasn't allowing connections to the port number (oops 😅) and podman also wasn't working. But it works now! (Your reply was at the bottom of my GitHub notifications and I just saw it :))
