How to run a systemd-enabled container with Podman?

I am trying to run a systemd-enabled container using Podman, specifically with a Rocky Linux base image. While I have seen multiple references to Podman supporting systemd, I haven't been able to set it up successfully. Here are the steps I've tried so far: 1. Pulled the rockylinux:latest image. 2. Installed systemd inside the container

yum install -y systemd systemd-libs
mkdir -p /var/log/journal
exit

3. Committed the container to a new image using:

podman commit rocky-systemd rocky-systemd:latest

4. Started the container and systemctl prints 'degraded' status!
