Re: Feedback about Bitwarden article
Hi Pany!
The podman run was an oversight on my part. Changing it to podman start is
something we definitely should change.
I'm not sure about the Type forking. When I looked around people either
used nothing - which defaults to simple - or used exec.
Though it seems to work just fine when I'm testing. If you know more than
me we can change that too, I see no harm in it
Thanks,

Hi Eric,
I read your article on Fedora Magazine – "Manage your passwords with
Bitwarden and Podman"[1], which is really helpful! Thank you very
much!
Following your approach, I tried on my Fedora 30, step by step, which
led to a failure, unfortunately. At last, it turned out that maybe I
should do a little modification to your `bitwarden.service` file:
```
[Unit]
Description=Bitwarden Podman container
Wants=syslog.service
[Service]
Type=forking
User=my name
Group=my group
TimeoutStartSec=0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/podman start 'bitwarden'
ExecStop=-/usr/bin/podman stop -t 10 'bitwarden'
Restart=always
RestartSec=30s
KillMode=none
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
- I added `Type=forking` below the `[Service]` line or the process
would exited unexpectedly
- I changed `ExecStart` from `podman run` to `podman start` which
would make sure podman start the `bitwarden` container created
previously
I ain't a pro, and I'm not sure whether the modification is necessary
for others. If needed, I think this article could be updated.
