How to stop a pod from starting on boot? podman pod

[JohnVillalovos]

I have created a pod using podman pod and when I restart the system the pod is started on boot.

I don't want that as I need to wait for an NFS mount to happen before the pod starts. How can I stop the pod from starting on boot? I have been looking through the various systemd files and haven't figured out what is causing the pod to start on boot.

Is it possible to manage the pod using quadlet?

How is the pod created, managed? By default nothing restarts on boot unless you configured systemd units to do so.
Do you have the podman-restart.service enabled by any chance?

Oh! I figured it out. The ansible role that we are using creates a systemd file that starts the pod ☹️ Of course it didn't have 'pod' in the name or anything.

Please ignore this question. Sorry for the noise!

Thanks @Luap99 for the response as it made me realize I should check the ansible role more carefully and found the reason the pod was being created.
