 ## What is this?
 
-This repository represents my preferred method of managing containers. These
-are `quadlets`, which is an interface between `systemd` and `podman`.

-- [Make `systemd` better for Podman with Quadlet](https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/quadlet-podman)
+This is a repository of ready-to-use `quadlets`. They allow you to run any
+container with `podman` using `systemd` unit files in your user session.
+
+This means no root user is ever invoked from the host system. Everything runs
+under the same user permissions as yourself, from within your own `$HOME`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> It is recommended to create another user specifically for running these
+> containers, but it is not strictly required. Details for setting up a system
+> from scratch are located in [AlmaLinux.md](./AlmaLinux.md).

-### Quickstart
+You may need to add a large range of subuids and subgids, because `podman` will
+use them when users are generated inside the containers.
+
+```bash
+usermod --add-subuids 200000-299999 --add-subgids 200000-299999 $USER
+```
+
+### Quickstart
+
+#### Hello, world
+
+Create the following unit file at `~/.config/containers/systemd/helloworld.container`.
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=hello world
+
+[Service]
+Restart=on-failure
+TimeoutStartSec=900
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=default.target
+
+[Container]
+Image=quay.io/podman/hello
+ContainerName=helloworld
+```
+
+Run the following commands to load and run the container.
 
 ```bash
-git clone  --depth=1 https://github.com/redbeardymcgee/podbox
-cp -a "podbox/quadlets/$app" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/systemd/"
-# Edit the files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/systemd/$app/ as needed
-$EDITOR "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/systemd/$app/"*
 systemctl --user daemon-reload
-systemctl --user start "$app"
-# Jump to the end of the logs to see if the app started
+systemctl --user start helloworld
 journalctl -e
 ```
 
+You should see the following in your journal!

+```bash

+### Running real apps
+
+1. Copy the `quadlets/$app/` you want to run to
+   `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/systemd/quadlets/`
+2. Edit the files to match your system
+    - Set your `Network=...` for containers that need to share a network
+    namespace
+    - Set `Volume=...:...` to a path that exists on your system if you need to
+    access it within that container
+    - Modify environment variables with `Environment=...` or use an env file with `EnvironmentFile=./path/to/foo.env`
+3. Load the updated container definition into `systemd`
+4. Launch the container
+
+#### Example
+
+```bash
+# Step 1
+git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/redbeardymcgee/podbox
+cp -a "podbox/quadlets/thelounge" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/containers/systemd/"
+# Step 2
+$EDITOR "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"/containers/systemd/thelounge/*
+# Step 3
+systemctl --user daemon-reload
+# Step 4
+systemctl --user start thelounge
+```
+
+Navigate to `http://localhost:9000` in your browser.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> If the application is not found, confirm that the service is listening on
+> port 9000 with `ss -tunlp`. You should see something similar to the
+> following in your output:
+> 
+> ```bash
+> Netid State  Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port  Peer Address:PortProcess
+> tcp   LISTEN 0      4096       *:9000           *:*   users:(("rootlessport",pid=913878,fd=10))
+> ```
+
 ## Upcoming containers
 
+I'm working on new quadlets every day. This is a list of all of the containers
+that I intend to add to this repository. It is still growing, and I welcome
+your submissions on the [issue tracker](https://github.com/redbeardymcgee/podbox/issues).
