Your point 3 would be correct with docker and rootful podman, not rootless podman. I have a whole reddit post where this was hashed out, and over the many months and several comments in the post, I’m fairly certain I’m correct in my stated observations

That being said, it’s still best to not use id 0 in your containers and mark permissions the correct way based on your system’s user namespace mapping. It’s just one more variable to figure out, where in most people’s case it won’t matter too much, and still provides better isolation than docker

Looks great! It’s tough for me to choose between this, amperfy, and narjo. I think arpeggi has the cleanest UI, but amperfy and narjo have gapless playback, which I really care about. Plus amperfy is fully open source, which is cool. narjo has a bunch of neat features/customization, though, so I’ve been sticking with it lately

https://perfectmediaserver.com/02-tech-stack/os/ this guide uses proxmox specifically but the base distro can be swapped out and the rest of the teck stack and concepts can apply everywhere. I followed it with a ucore (part of Universal Blue) base and it works great.
