The systemd provider of puppet for services can only handle system services (/etc/systemd/system). But in container environment's like podman, the container's are running very often as none root. So the service's must controlled for the user.

Example for user foo:

/<User foo Home>/.config/systemd/user/<service>.service

or for an timer

/<User foo Home>/.config/systemd/user/<timer>.timer

The systemd command will be:

sudo machinectl shell <user>@ /usr/bin/systemctl --user status|enable|etc. <service>|<timer>|<etc.>

instant of /usr/bin/systemctl status|enable|etc. <service>|<timer>|<etc.>
