Sessions
Same as every year, a lot has happened in the systemd project since last year's
ASG. We released multiple versions, packed with new components and features.
This talk will provide an overview of these changes, commenting on successes and
challenges, and a sneak peak at what lies ahead.
Let's have an open discussion with systemd developers who are at ASG and users in the audience. We will open with the developers saying what they plan to work on in the near future, and then allow questions / comments from the audience.
Systemd can now be linked as a single static binary, which is enough to run a "full system" container that boots into a running manager. Transient units can then be used to do more things in the container. Thanks to systemd-nsresourced and systemd-mountfsd, this now works fully unprivileged and with no suid helpers. I want to show that this actually works and can be used for experimentation, development, and custom container images.
