podman-quadlet-install(1)

NAME
podman-quadlet-install - Install a quadlet file or quadlet application

SYNOPSIS
podman quadlet install [options] quadlet-path-or-url [files-path-or-url]...

DESCRIPTION
Install a Quadlet file or an application (which may include multiple Quadlet files) for the current user. You can specify Quadlet files as local files or web URLs.

This command allows you to:
    * Install a single Quadlet file, optionally followed by additional non-Quadlet files.
    * Specify a directory containing multiple Quadlet files and other non-Quadlet files for installation ( example a config file for a quadlet container ).

Note: If a quadlet is part of an application, removing that specific quadlet will remove the entire application. When a quadlet is installed from a directory, all files installed from that directory—including both quadlet and non-quadlet files—are considered part of a single application.

Note: In case user wants to install Quadlet application then first path should be the path to application directory.

OPTIONS

  --reload-systemd
Reload systemd after installing Quadlets (default true). In order to disable it users need to manually set the value of this flag to false.
