Supplemental curator note
systemd fits operators managing service order, restart policy, and restrictions as units. Validate files offline first, then handle installation and activation through a separate change process.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Verify the fixed release and analysis tool
Requires Git and systemd-analyze. Inspect v262 manuals without changing host units.
git clone --depth 1 --branch v262 https://github.com/systemd/systemd.git systemd && cd systemd && test -f man/systemd-analyze.xml && command -v systemd-analyze >/dev/null - 2
Verify a temporary unit offline
Write a oneshot service under a temporary directory and verify syntax and references without installing or starting it.
unit_dir=$(mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/systemd-unit.XXXXXX") && printf '%s\n' '[Unit]' 'Description=OSS Tanbou offline check' '[Service]' 'Type=oneshot' 'ExecStart=/usr/bin/printf unit-ok' 'NoNewPrivileges=yes' 'PrivateTmp=yes' 'ProtectSystem=strict' > "$unit_dir/demo.service" && systemd-analyze verify "$unit_dir/demo.service" - 3
Assess restrictions offline
Run security --offline=yes on the temporary unit without using host services, networking, or root.
systemd-analyze security --offline=yes "$unit_dir/demo.service" | grep -F demo.service
