This unit implies you're using a system wide podman service. This will work if you have podman.socket active when you run this unit, but it would be best if you added the dependency explicitly.

The podman.socket unit uses %t/podman/podman.sock.
The snippet here should do the same, since distros might put it in /var/run instead.

Any reason why you manually specified those? It shouldn't be required since it's the same as the defaults

The original quadlet file that was posted on discord set a bunch more environment variables which I removed.
Apparently I forgot to remove the GST_DEBUG line.
The HOST_APPS_STATE_FOLDER I kept because both the docker and docker-compose blocks set that variable as well.
If you want I can remove it from all of them...

Moving env var definitions to a separate file and using EnvironmentFile here would allow for updating env variables without having to run systemctl daemon-reload for the env updates to be picked up on service restart.
An example of using EnvironmentFile can be found here: https://www.flatcar.org/docs/latest/setup/systemd/environment-variables/#environmentfile-directive
I'm currently working around some permissions issues related to running on Bazzite, but here are the working configs I'm using: https://github.com/detiber/beardy-os/pull/1/files
I'm going to continue tweaking on things in that PR while I re-scope the permissions back down
This PR adds an example quadlet file to the quickstart docs.
Quadlets are a way of describing a podman container configuration as a systemd unit.
It was adapted from what @Drakulix posted on discord, updating since renamed flags/variables and bringing the state configuration in line with the other quickstart examples.
I only added this to the Intel/AMD sections since I don't have an Nvidia GPU to test with.
