Hello, I want to run my podman-compose as a background service (so it doesn't stop when user ends the session).

podman-compose version: 1.0.6
podman version: 4.4.1

I have created a compose.yml, that works fine when user is logged into the server, but when he logs out all containers get stopped:

services:
  vpn:
    image: docker.io/qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    ...

  nginx:
    image: docker.io/nginx:mainline-alpine3.18-slim
    container_name: nginx
    ...


  qbittorrent:
    container_name: qbittorrent
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    ...

  radarr:
    container_name: radarr
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
    ...

  # Show collection manager
  sonarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/sonarr:latest
    container_name: sonarr
    ...

  prowlarr:
    container_name: prowlarr
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/prowlarr:latest
    ...


  jellyfin:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/jellyfin:latest
    container_name: jellyfin
    ...

networks:
  media_network:
    external: true

So I have read the solution is to use systemd. I ran the following commands:

sudo setsebool -P container_manage_cgroup on
sudo podman-compose systemd -a create-unit # Successfuly creates unit in /etc/systemd/user/podman-compose@.service
podman-compose systemd -a register # Successful
systemctl --user enable --now podman-compose@media_server  # Fails
systemctl --user status --no-pager --full podman-compose@media_server

With the following output:

× podman-compose@media_server.service - media_server rootless pod (podman-compose)
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/xdg/systemd/user/podman-compose@.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

I am just wondering what am I doing wrong and if there is any documentation for this?
