I have podman image and container for mysql latest built and start/run in rhel8 server as AWS ec2 instance.
I noticed whenever I restart the server, image is still found however container is not started up automatically.
podman ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
I believe container is in /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay-containers.
I read in somewhere container is in ephemeral state and I need to find a way to store container in non-transient state. So far my research didn't turn up much. If I understood the problem correctly, what procedure I have to run so that restart of the server would keep the container in running state?
Update:
I am looking for a clue from /etc/containers/storage.conf file. However I am not sure I am in the right place start with.
Unlike Docker, there is no Podman daemon to automatically start your containers when your system starts.
If you want a container to start automatically, you need to configure that yourself -- e.g., by creating an appropriate systemd unit (possibly via podman generate systemd), or by using a tool such as quadlet.
