basically /podi start is to be called some way or another

systemd example

Many servers use systemd, so you can modify the text below and put it into /etc/systemd/system/your-container.service:

[Unit]
Description=your-container 
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
User=username
Group=username
RemainAfterExit=yes
WorkingDirectory=/home/username/repository
ExecStart=/home/username/repository/podi start
ExecStop=/home/username/repository/podi stop 
Type=forking

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target default.target

and then run:

$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl start your-container
$ systemctl status your-container
(edit the service-file if it didn't work, and retry the 3 lines above)
$ systemctl enable your-container 

voila..now it will persist across reboots

Example: boot all podis on boot

$ cd /root
$ ./startpods install
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/startpods.service → /lib/systemd/system/startpods.service.
start now? (y/n)
