Documented steps

  1. Create a pod: `podman pod create --name web --publish 8080:8080`.
  2. Add containers that join the pod: `podman create --pod web --name web1 nginx` and `podman create --pod web --name api myapi`.
  3. Start/stop the pod: `podman pod start web` / `podman pod stop web`; list with `podman pod list` (use --ps to also show container statuses).
  4. Inspect with `podman pod inspect web`; check per-container status with `podman ps --pod`.
