| Apr 8, 2022 at 5:26 | comment | added | Chad Farmer | It can be educational to look at systemd configuration files that exist for services that are preinstalled and working. Look at the privileged command systemctl that provides administrator control of services that are set up for systemd. Use "dpkg -L <package>" to list all files installed with <package>, looking specifically for those files that are installed under /etc and /lib/systemd. (You can also see what man pages are installed by the package.) | |

There are many good, read-able systemd articles on LWN. As far as the "doing" part of it, this search should contain a "hello World" systemd unit file in at least one of the articles - may start w/ DigitalOcean as their stuff is usually accurate & updated.

@JoshuaMitchell: "Would you recommend just starting with the normal pi documentation?" No - not there. :) systemd is wide and deep. It has a controversial past, & makes for interesting reading sometimes. As systemd currently performs the role of init in RPi, it touches all of the core services. I am still learning systemd, and expect that to continue forever. IMHO, the best way to learn is a combination of reading and doing. You might start with this article & then search for more.

| Apr 5, 2022 at 19:33 | comment | added | Joshua Mitchell | Thank you for your in-depth and helpful answer! It is very wise to have a spare SD card, and I will definitely try that first. I would like to dive into learning sysemd. Would you recommend just starting with the normal pi documentation? Or, is it best to begin with this project first to get a feel for it? Is there another resource for learning you would recommend? | |
