You’re forgetting about the 10th Rule of Acquisition
Yeah, that’s bizarre. I’d never have guessed /home was created by tmpfiles
I’m so confused, why does there need to be a daemon that creates /home? Can’t you just make it at install time and assume it’s always there? Is this made for ramdisk / immutable distros or something?
Because SystemD must do all and will not rest until GNU/Linux becomes SystemD/Linux
Things like this are why I don’t put systemd on my machines. It’s too complicated for me. Too many things going on. I’ve moved away from mac os to linux specifically to avoid weird over-engineered solutions, I want to be able to understand my system, not just use it!
EDIT:
SystemD/Linux
We’re not there yet with systemd, but I would argue that Alpine Linux qualifies as “busybox/Linux” lol. It’s literally just the kernel, busybox, openrc, and a package manager stapled together. It’s so minimalist that it barely even exists! I love that distro so much!
They changed
systemd-tmpfilesto create stuff other than tempfiles a while back, but for whatever reason they never renamed it to better describe what it does.
systemd-rmrfhomed at your service
According to /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/home.conf, /srv might end up nuked too.
Nice. 🤣
