systemd Module for Startingpoint

The systemd module streamlines the management of systemd units during image building. Units are divided into system and user categories, with system units managed directly using systemctl and user units using systemctl --user. You can specify which units to enable or disable under each category.

Example Configuration

type: systemd
system:
  enabled:
    - example.service
  disabled:
    - example.target
user:
  enabled:
    - example.timer
  disabled:
    - example.service

In this example:

System Units

  • example.service: Enabled (runs on system boot)
  • example.target: Disabled (does not run on system boot)

User Units

  • example.timer: Enabled (runs for the user)
  • example.service: Disabled (does not run for the user)

This configuration achieves the same results as the following commands:

# System Units
systemctl enable example.service
systemctl disable example.target

# User Units
systemctl --user enable example.timer
systemctl --user disable example.service
