Questions regarding the Podman installation - pGooch - 2024-09-28
I'm currently playing around with Jellyfin, looking to make it a replacement for my currently running Plex server (on another machine, no connection to this). I followed the installation instructions for podman (since I'm running Fedora it felt like the best choice) it all seems to work as expected.
One thing I noticed about the command to create the Jellyfin podman container has the
--rm argument in it. As I understand it this removes the pod and re-creates it between uses. This tracks with what I'm seeing in Podman Desktop, when I stop the container it is removed from the list of containers since it's been removed, not just shut off. I was trying to understand why that is seemingly the recommended way of doing things. It would be preferable for my lazy self to not remove it when I shut down the pod so I can just hit the button and start it back up (as opposed to re-running the long podman command). I removed the --rm and everything seemed to work except I did have some weird, possibly unrelated permissions issues.
