Systemd - Without a daemon, Podman needs another tool to manage services and support running containers in the background. Systemd creates control units for existing containers or to generate new ones. Systemd can also be integrated with Podman allowing it to run containers with systemd enabled by default, without any modification.
By using systemd, vendors can install, run, and manage their applications as containers since most are now exclusively packaged and delivered this way.
Systemd is a required dependency? If so, booooooooooo. Systemd is cancer. I would never recommend any software which requires systemd as a dependency. Please tell me it doesn't have systemd as a dep.
Not as a dependency, only for service controls (start/stop/restart) - and this is something you have to configure. In my case I want the service running on boot and it's the easy option, but I appreciate that it's far from the simplicity of init.d
