adisbladis 46241e156c nixos/virtualisation.oci-containers: Use podman as the default backend
This has a number of benefits such as that applying service limits will
actually work since there isn't a layer of indirection (the Docker daemon)
between the systemd service and the container runtime.

Both <literal>hostPort</literal> and
<literal>containerPort</literal> can be specified as a range of
ports. When specifying ranges for both, the number of container
ports in the range must match the number of host ports in the
range. Example: <literal>1234-1236:1234-1236/tcp</literal>
When specifying a range for <literal>hostPort</literal> only, the
<literal>containerPort</literal> must <emphasis>not</emphasis> be a
range. In this case, the container port is published somewhere
within the specified <literal>hostPort</literal> range. Example:
<literal>1234-1236:1234/tcp</literal>

### There is no generalized way of supporting `reload` for docker

### images just have broken signal handling. The best compromise in this
### case is probably to leave ExecReload undefined, so `systemctl reload`
### will at least result in an error instead of potentially undefined

### Advanced users can still override this part of the unit to implement
### a custom reload handler, since the result of all this is a normal
