I've been working on a tool called Materia[0] for managing Podman Quadlets on hosts, GitOps style and I think it's really starting to hit its stride. I just released a new version yesterday: https://github.com/stryan/materia/releases/tag/v0.3.0 .

There's been a couple attempts in this space before but they usually seem to peter out after a while. I'm hoping to avoid that by staying flexible and focusing on just managing files instead of creating a new compose-like DSL. But even if it doesn't become popular I'm just happy I don't have to manage my homelab with Ansible anymore :) .

This is really cool! Does it take care of the 'deletion' of everything it creates if you remove config blocks/files etc.?
