Solti-Containers Collection

Documentation for the Solti-Containers Ansible collection. These are podman containers created from pulic releases of services. They are intended for development testing, not production.

This was an experiment to see how far into the produciton quality I could takes the podman ecology. These use quadlets to make them a non-privileged containers. To make them manageable by systemd. There were many lessons, the hardest were the networking limitations of rootless containers. I was never able to isolate the containers from 127.0.0.1 using rootless networking capabilities.

TODO: added obsidian and mongodb for AI experiment.
