Version: 5.4.2+ds1-1+b3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying out Podman Quadlets on trixie and ran into an issue. I've reproduced a minimal setup using a clean install inside a VM:
* Installed Debian trixie without a Desktop environment
* Installed Podman
* Switched to root and created two files (see content below):
* `/etc/containers/systemd/nginx.container`
* `/etc/containers/systemd/nginx.image`
* Rebooted
* Problem: The generated `nginx-image` service fails to start, apparently because the DNS server refused connection (see error message below)
Some notable observations:
* The same thing happens every time the machine boots.
* I couldn't reproduce the problem when I installed the Gnome desktop environment
* If I manually start the service after booting, it works.
* Adding a slight delay via `ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 3` fixes the problem as well.
* The same thing happens for `.build` Quadlets.
While the sleep fix works fine for the moment, it'd be very nice to have a proper fix for this. Please let me know if I can assist further, I'd be glad to debug some more if that helps.
Kind regards
Jan-Nick Kemming
