I keep reading about podman, yet it doesm’t FEEL as mature to me as docker for a normal user like me. What’s your opinion? Did you already switch or do you keep waiting for … for what? When will you switch?

It’s not the “official” way to do it, but you can make systemd run Docker Compose (talking to Podman instead of Docker), which is pretty close to what you’re talking about. And then you don’t have to write stinky systemd INI files for each container.
But you don’t need to have systemd run anything (except docker or podman itself). Just run containers with “restart: always” and docker/podman will start them on boot, restart them of they fail, and leave them alone if they’re manually stopped.
You only need to run compose when you are [re]provisioning a container.
Podman does not start your containrs on boot. You need to do some magic yoursefel. Like a cronjob that starts all containers at boot.
