podman systemd service compatibility and Type=forking #19

Closed pwFoo closed 4 years ago

pwFoo commented 4 years ago

Hi @KillingSpark current rustysd won't be compatible to podman generated systemd services because of Type=forking and maybe other options like PIDFile= or KillMode. Maybe it would be ok to just ignore unsupported options...

Examples: https://www.mankier.com/1/podman-generate-systemd

Maybe it's not needed to support the podman generated systemd services because it isn't really a good solution at the moment (manually create the container and generate a start / stop service... So if the container is removed the service won't work or regenerate I think. But maybe run / create command could be integrated into podman generate systemd in the future...

Why Type=forking isn't supported? No need to implement or is it to complex?

Type forking needs some special state keeping logic and I haven't seen a real usecase for it until now. Is it actually necessary for podman to use type forking?

So we shouldn't take care about podman generated units at the moment... I don't like the current way it seems to work. So I need to generate custom systemd units and that should work with rustysd.
