Podlet is a Rust CLI tool that generates Podman Quadlet (systemd unit) files from Podman commands, Docker Compose files, or existing Podman objects. It simplifies declaring containers, pods, networks, volumes, and images as systemd-managed services.

Use cases

• convert docker compose file to podman quadlet
• generate systemd unit files for podman containers
• turn podman run command into quadlet file
• migrate docker compose to podman systemd services
• create quadlet kube files from kubernetes yaml
• generate quadlet from existing podman container or volume

When to choose

• you run rootless Podman containers managed by systemd via Quadlet
• you want to migrate Docker Compose setups to Podman Quadlet units
• you need to convert existing Podman objects into declarative Quadlet files

When to avoid

• you use Docker instead of Podman
• you manage containers with Kubernetes rather than systemd Quadlets
• you need a container runtime itself rather than a config generator
