Feature request description

In Cockpit-podman we started working on supporting Quadlets as first class citizens, running quadlets are not a problem for our UI but showing inactive/stopped quadlets is.

As inactive/stopped quadlets don't keep a container around they aren't discoverable via podman's remote API.

Suggest potential solution

Podman gained quadlet list which shows quadlet information but no relation between containers and pods nor the Image, Exec and ContainerName/PodName if they are overridden.

As we already use the podman http API, adding a new endpoint there for quadlets would be our preferred solution.

Have you considered any alternatives?

Our alternative is parsing the .service files from /run/systemd/generator ourself and generating a JSON blob for our UI:
