Creating a systemd service

[chcore]

How do I go about making my own systemd service? If I drop a .service file in /home/root/.config/systemd/user and try a systemctl --user daemon-reload or systemctl --user start testing.service I just get a Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory.

I cannot write to /etc/systemd/system either, as I just get the error Read-only file system, even after a mount -o rw,remount /.

Is this at all possible? Thank you for this project

webOS does not support systemd user session daemon. You can try adding a system unit by creating an overlay over /etc/systemd as described here: https://www.webosbrew.org/pages/filesystem-overlays.html#adding-files-to-an-existing-directory

Keep in mind systemd is only present on webOS 4+ (if I remember correctly), if you plan to make some reusable homebrew/guide. On 3.x and older upstart is used for system services.

Thank you @Informatic, I didn't know about OverlayFS. That worked perfectly.
