Run a container mysql tied to port 4001 and mount user jane's mysql directory to the containers /var/lib/mysql/ After set up the container to autostart on reboot regardless whether the user logs in or not ``` loginctl enable-linger jane # services will run regardless if user loggedin su - jane mkdir /home/jane/mysql/ podman run -d -p -n mysql 4001:4001 -v /home/jane/mysql/:/var/lib/mysql/:Z -e \ MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=password \ quay.io/fedora/mariadb-103 #whatever container provides mysql services podman ps -a # ensure container is running ``` If the container is running, lets make it persistent by creating a systemd user service. Make sure you login properly to user as using `su - jane` will not systemd. Use ssh as an alternative ``` mkdir -p .config/systemd/user # prep work to create systemd user service cd /home/jane/.config/systemd/user podman generate systemd --files --new --name mysql systemctl --user daemon-reload # reload for systemd to pick new service unit systemctl --user enable container-mysql.service ```
