Podman v4.6 Introduces Podmansh: A Revolutionary Login Shell

  Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.

  

should cause USER's podmansh container to start as soon as the system enters multi-user mode, independent of USER's login sessions, allowing persistent daemons.

Ordinarily, users can create systemd timer units[4] to schedule at- and cron-style jobs, though I assume you have to run a systemd instance inside each user's podmansh container to enable user service creation in the present context.

This is the same mechanism that, e.g., transforms fstab entries into systemd mount units.

  Discontinued A shell which places users into individual docker containers (by Yelp)

  

The feature is more similar to e.g. dockersh than just exec https://github.com/Yelp/dockersh

Or e.g. change ssh config to use ForceCommand.

That said, the main benefit is not just that a shell gets a container but that you can easily compose this feature with the container / image ecosystem to deploy specialized shells. Perhaps even you don’t need a VM to service the request but rather a container orchestrator ..
