    Why would someone want containers managed by systemd instead of just having them run like normal? What is the advantage?

    Also if you use cockpit or some equivalent GUI to manage your containers, do you have to give it permission to control all systemd services?

      Why would you not want containers managed by systemd?
      You get the benefits of containerisation and you don’t have to learn the arcane syntax of some container engine or another.

        Dunno what’s arcane about setting your network up once, crrate the compose (jn my case regular docker) and write sudo docker compose up -d.
        Literally using Linux in any way shape or form is more arcane than this.
        Just recently learning about NFS sharing. Sure, let’s write the config in /etc/export and also edit the fstab config on the guest to auto-mount it. Don’t forget the whole syntax ;)

        Not the mention the 100 different ways of setting up a static IP in each distro which differs slightly in any package/distro
