# `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/disable or unmask/mask under each category. ## Example Configuration ```yaml type: systemd system: enabled: - example.service disabled: - example.target unmasked: - example.service masked: - example.service user: enabled: - example.timer disabled: - example.service unmasked: - example.service masked: - example.service ``` In this example: ### System Units - `example.service`: Enabled (runs on system boot) - `example.target`: Disabled (does not run on system boot, unless other unit strictly requires it) - `example.service`: Unmasked (runs on system boot, even if previously masked) - `example.service`: Masked (does not run on system boot, under any circumstances) ### User Units - `example.timer`: Enabled (runs for the user) - `example.service`: Disabled (does not run for the user, unless other unit strictly requires it) - `example.service`: Unmasked (runs for the user, even if previously masked) - `example.service`: Masked (does not run for the user, under any circumstances) This configuration achieves the same results as the following commands: ```sh # System Units systemctl enable example.service systemctl disable example.target systemctl unmask example.service systemctl mask example.service # User Units systemctl --global enable example.timer systemctl --global disable example.service systemctl --global unmask example.service systemctl --global mask example.service ``` For more information about these systemctl commands, please visit: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemctl.html#enable%20UNIT%E2%80%A6 https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemctl.html#disable%20UNIT%E2%80%A6 https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemctl.html#unmask%20UNIT%E2%80%A6 https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemctl.html#mask%20UNIT%E2%80%A6
