systemd Operations

Manage systemd services.

Facts used in these operations: systemd.SystemdEnabled, systemd.SystemdStatus.

systemd.daemon_reload

Stateless operation

This operation will always execute commands and is not idempotent.

Reload the systemd daemon to read unit file changes.

systemd.daemon_reload(user_mode=False, machine: 'str | None' = None, user_name: 'str | None' = None,
         **kwargs,
    )
  • user_mode: whether to use per-user systemd (systemctl --user) or not
  • machine: the machine name to connect to
  • user_name: connect to a specific user's systemd session

Global arguments

This operation also inherits all global arguments.

systemd.service

Manage the state of systemd managed units.

systemd.service(
         service: 'str',
         running=True,
         restarted=False,
         reloaded=False,
         command: 'str | None' = None,
         enabled: 'bool | None' = None,
         daemon_reload=False,
         user_mode=False,
         machine: 'str | None' = None,
         user_name: 'str | None' = None,
         **kwargs,
    )
  • service: name of the systemd unit to manage
  • running: whether the unit should be running
  • restarted: whether the unit should be restarted
  • reloaded: whether the unit should be reloaded
  • command: custom command to pass like: /etc/rc.d/<name> <command>
  • enabled: whether this unit should be enabled/disabled on boot
  • daemon_reload: reload the systemd daemon to read updated unit files
  • user_mode: whether to use per-user systemd (systemctl --user) or not
  • machine: the machine name to connect to
  • user_name: connect to a specific user's systemd session

Examples:

from pyinfra.operations import systemd
systemd.service(
    name="Restart and enable the dnsmasq service",
    service="dnsmasq.service",
    running=True,
    restarted=True,
    enabled=True,
)

systemd.service(
    name="Enable logrotate timer",
    service="logrotate.timer",
    running=True,
    enabled=True,
)
