Systemd guides
Hands-on guides that cover Systemd. Every command is run and verified on a live server before it is published.
GuideKeep It Running with systemd
An app started in a terminal dies when you close it. Write a systemd service so your Node app starts on boot, restarts on crash, and logs to the journal.
Guidesystemd Services Explained
Server software runs as a service that starts on boot and restarts on failure. Meet systemd, the service manager on every Linux box, and read a live status.
GuideRetention and Automation
Give restic a retention policy that prunes old snapshots, then wrap backup automation in a systemd timer that runs nightly and alerts on failure.
GuideReading Logs With journalctl
When a service misbehaves, its logs live in the journal, not a text file. Read one service with journalctl, follow the systemd logs live, and filter by time.
Guidesystemd Timers
systemd has its own scheduler that does more than cron. Create systemd timers that trigger a service, list the next run time, and see when they beat cron.
