Quadlet pod does not start after reboot

Currently im migrating all my containers to podman quadlets, and containers dont restart after reboot even though the restart policy is defined. How to actually config containers or podman to restart containers and pods? Pod files below (variables ommited)

db.container

[Container]
ContainerName=psql
Environment=
Image=docker.io/postgres:16
Pod=koito.pod
Volume=
AutoUpdate=registry

[Service]
Restart=always

service.container

[Unit]

After=db.service

[Container]

Environment=
