Install Egroupware via Quadlet as Systemd service

Hallo,

I am not really sure, if I am in the correct category here, mainly because I am not a developer. Nevertheless, I post my question here.
At the moment I‘m reading a lot about atomic servers like Fedora CoreOS or ublue and I‘m trying them out. There I found the possibility to run podman containers as systemd units using quadlet. So I wondered, if it might be possible to run Egroupware the same way. I used Podlet to convert the docker-compose.yml into systemd files. I haven‘t had full success yet.
Did anyone try that as well? Or is my idea perhaps too weird?

As far as I know the network part in Podman is different, maybe this help:

# Basic Setup and Use of Podman in a Rootless environment.

Prior to allowing users without root privileges to run Podman, the administrator must install or build Podman and complete the following configurations.

## Administrator Actions

### Installing Podman

For installing Podman, see the [installation instructions](https://podman.io/getting-started/installation).

### Building Podman

For building Podman, see the [build instructions](https://podman.io/getting-started/installation#building-from-scratch).

### Networking configuration

A user-mode networking tool for unprivileged network namespaces must be installed on the machine in order for Podman to run in a rootless environment.

But I never try it…

Thanks very much, network might be a problem. It seems to me that there are other issues to be fixed, too. I will report here, when I got further
