Not to be confused with System D or Systeme D.

systemd is a software suite that provides an array of system components for Linux[7] operating systems. The main aim is to unify service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions.[8] Its primary component is a "system and service manager" – an init system used to bootstrap user space and manage user processes. It also provides replacements for various daemons and utilities, including device management, login management, network connection management, and event logging. The name systemd adheres to the Unix convention of naming daemons by appending the letter d.[9] It also plays on the term "System D", which refers to a person's ability to adapt quickly and improvise to solve problems.[10]

Since 2015, the majority of Linux distributions have adopted systemd, having replaced other init systems such as SysV init. It has been praised by developers and users of distributions that adopted it for providing a stable, fast out-of-the-box solution for issues that had existed in the Linux space for years.[11][12][13] At the time of adoption of systemd on most Linux distributions, it was the only software suite that offered reliable parallelism during boot as well as centralized management of processes, daemons, services and mount points.

Critics of systemd contend that it suffers from mission creep and bloat, the latter affecting other software (such as the GNOME desktop), adding dependencies on systemd, reducing its compatibility with other Unix-like operating systems and making it difficult for sysadmins to integrate alternative solutions. In addition, they contend that the complexity of systemd results in a larger attack surface, reducing the overall security of the platform.[14] Concerns have also been raised about Red Hat and its parent company IBM controlling the scene of init systems on Linux.[15][1]

History edit

Lennart Poettering and Kay Sievers, the software engineers then working for Red Hat who initially developed systemd,[2] started a project to replace Linux's conventional System V init in 2010.[16] An April 2010 blog post from Poettering, titled "Rethinking PID 1", introduced an experimental version of what would later become systemd.[17] They sought to surpass the efficiency of the init daemon in several ways. They wanted to improve the software framework for expressing dependencies, to allow more processing to be done concurrently or in parallel during system booting, and to reduce the computational overhead of the shell.

In May 2011 Fedora Linux became the first major Linux distribution to enable systemd by default, replacing Upstart. The reasoning at the time was that systemd provided extensive parallelization during startup, better management of processes and overall a saner, dependency-based approach to control of the system.[18]

In October 2012, Arch Linux made systemd the default, switching from SysVinit.[19] Developers had debated since August 2012[13] and came to the conclusion that it was faster and had more features than SysVinit, and that maintaining the latter was not worth the effort in patches.[20] Some of them thought that the criticism towards the implementation of systemd was not based on actual shortcomings of the software, rather the disliking of Lennart from a part of the Linux community and the general hesitation for change. Specifically, some of the complaints regarding systemd not being programmed in bash, it being bigger and more extensive than SysVinit, the use of D-bus, and the optional on-disk format of the journal were regarded as advantages by programmers.[21]

Between October 2013 and February 2014, a long debate among the Debian Technical Committee occurred on the Debian mailing list,[22] discussing which init system to use as the default in Debian 8 "jessie", and culminating in a decision in favor of systemd. The debate was widely publicized[23][24] and in the wake of the decision the debate continues on the Debian mailing list. In February 2014, after Debian's decision was made, Mark Shuttleworth announced on his blog that Ubuntu would follow in implementing systemd, discarding its own Upstart.[25][26]

In November 2014 Debian Developer Joey Hess,[27] Debian Technical Committee members Russ Allbery[28] and Ian Jackson,[29] and systemd package-maintainer Tollef Fog Heen[30] resigned from their positions. All four justified their decision on the public Debian mailing list and in personal blogs with their exposure to extraordinary stress-levels related to ongoing disputes on systemd integration within the Debian and FOSS community that rendered regular maintenance virtually impossible.

In August 2015 systemd started providing a login shell, callable via machinectl shell.[31]

In September 2016, a security bug was discovered that allowed any unprivileged user to perform a denial-of-service attack against systemd.[32] Rich Felker, developer of musl, stated that this bug reveals a major "system development design flaw".[33] In 2017 another security bug was discovered in systemd, CVE-2017-9445, which "allows disruption of service" by a "malicious DNS server".[34][35] Later in 2017, the Pwnie Awards gave author Lennart Poettering a "lamest vendor response" award due to his handling of the vulnerabilities.[36]

Design edit

 
The architecture of systemd as it is used by Tizen. Several systemd targets, including telephony, bootmode, dlog, and tizen service are from Tizen and are not components of systemd.[37]
 
Unified-hierarchy cgroups will be accessible exclusively by systemd through systemd-nspawn[38]

Poettering describes systemd development as "never finished, never complete, but tracking progress of technology". In May 2014, Poettering further described systemd as unifying "pointless differences between distributions", by providing the following three general functions:[39]

  • A system and service manager (manages both the system, by applying various configurations, and its services)
  • A software platform (serves as a basis for developing other software)
  • The glue between applications and the kernel (provides various interfaces that expose functionalities provided by the kernel)

systemd includes features like on-demand starting of daemons, snapshot support, process tracking[40] and Inhibitor Locks.[41] It is not just the name of the init daemon but also refers to the entire software bundle around it, which, in addition to the systemd init daemon, includes the daemons journald, logind and networkd, and many other low-level components. In January 2013, Poettering described systemd not as one program, but rather a large software suite that includes 69 individual binaries.[42] As an integrated software suite, systemd replaces the startup sequences and runlevels controlled by the traditional init daemon, along with the shell scripts executed under its control. systemd also integrates many other services that are common on Linux systems by handling user logins, the system console, device hotplugging (see udev), scheduled execution (replacing cron), logging, hostnames and locales.

Like the init daemon, systemd is a daemon that manages other daemons, which, including systemd itself, are background processes. systemd is the first daemon to start during booting and the last daemon to terminate during shutdown. The systemd daemon serves as the root of the user space's process tree; the first process (PID 1) has a special role on Unix systems, as it replaces the parent of a process when the original parent terminates. Therefore, the first process is particularly well suited for the purpose of monitoring daemons.

systemd executes elements of its startup sequence in parallel, which is theoretically faster than the traditional startup sequence approach.[43] For inter-process communication (IPC), systemd makes Unix domain sockets and D-Bus available to the running daemons. The state of systemd itself can also be preserved in a snapshot for future recall.

Core components and libraries edit

Following its integrated approach, systemd also provides replacements for various daemons and utilities, including the startup shell scripts, pm-utils, inetd, acpid, syslog, watchdog, cron and atd. systemd's core components include the following:

  • systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems.
  • systemctl is a command to introspect and control the state of the systemd system and service manager. Not to be confused with sysctl.
  • systemd-analyze may be used to determine system boot-up performance statistics and retrieve other state and tracing information from the system and service manager.

systemd tracks processes using the Linux kernel's cgroups subsystem instead of using process identifiers (PIDs); thus, daemons cannot "escape" systemd, not even by double-forking. systemd not only uses cgroups, but also augments them with systemd-nspawn and machinectl, two utility programs that facilitate the creation and management of Linux containers.[44] Since version 205, systemd also offers ControlGroupInterface, which is an API to the Linux kernel cgroups.[45] The Linux kernel cgroups are adapted to support kernfs,[46] and are being modified to support a unified hierarchy.[47]

Ancillary components edit

Beside its primary purpose of providing a Linux init system, the systemd suite can provide additional functionality, including the following components:

journald
systemd-journald is a daemon responsible for event logging, with append-only binary files serving as its logfiles. The system administrator may choose whether to log system events with systemd-journald, syslog-ng or rsyslog. The potential for corruption of the binary format has led to much heated debate.[48]
libudev
libudev is the standard library for utilizing udev, which allows third-party applications to query udev resources.
localed
localed manages the system locale.
logind
systemd-logind is a daemon that manages user logins and seats in various ways. It is an integrated login manager that offers multiseat improvements[49] and replaces ConsoleKit, which is no longer maintained.[50] For X11 display managers the switch to logind requires a minimal amount of porting.[51] It was integrated in systemd version 30.
hostnamed
hostnamed manages the system hostname.
homed
homed is a daemon that provides portable human-user accounts that are independent of current system configuration. homed moves various pieces of data such as UID/GID from various places across the filesystem into one file, ~/.identity. homed manages the user's home directory in various ways such as a plain directory, a btrfs subvolume, a Linux Unified Key Setup volume, an fscrypt directory, or mounted from an SMB server.
networkd
networkd is a daemon to handle the configuration of the network interfaces; in version 209, when it was first integrated, support was limited to statically assigned addresses and basic support for bridging configuration.[52][53][54][55][56] In July 2014, systemd version 215 was released, adding new features such as a DHCP server for IPv4 hosts, and VXLAN support.[57][58] networkctl may be used to review the state of the network links as seen by systemd-networkd.[59] Configuration of new interfaces has to be added under the /lib/systemd/network/ as a new file ending with .network extension.
resolved
provides network name resolution to local applications
systemd-boot
systemd-boot is a boot manager, formerly known as gummiboot. Kay Sievers merged it into systemd with rev 220.
systemd-bsod
systemd-bsod is an error reporter used to generate Blue Screen of Death.
systemd-nspawn
systemd-nspawn may be used to run a command or OS in a namespace container.
timedated
systemd-timedated is a daemon that can be used to control time-related settings, such as the system time, system time zone, or selection between UTC and local time-zone system clock. It is accessible through D-Bus.[60] It was integrated in systemd version 30.
timesyncd
is a client NTP daemon for synchronizing the system clock across the network.
tmpfiles
systemd-tmpfiles is a utility that takes care of creation and clean-up of temporary files and directories. It is normally run once at startup and then in specified intervals.
udevd
udev is a device manager for the Linux kernel, which handles the /dev directory and all user space actions when adding/removing devices, including firmware loading. In April 2012, the source tree for udev was merged into the systemd source tree.[61][62] In order to match the version number of udev, systemd maintainers bumped the version number directly from 44 to 183.[63]
On 29 May 2014, support for firmware loading through udev was dropped from systemd, as it was decided that the kernel should be responsible for loading firmware.[64]

Configuration of systemd edit

 
systemd-manager, a tool to configure systemd

systemd is configured exclusively via plain-text files.

systemd records initialization instructions for each daemon in a configuration file (referred to as a "unit file") that uses a declarative language, replacing the traditionally used per-daemon startup shell scripts. The syntax of the language is inspired by .ini files.[65]

Unit-file types[66] include:

  • .service
  • .socket
  • .device (automatically initiated by systemd[67])
  • .mount
  • .automount
  • .swap
  • .target
  • .path
  • .timer (which can be used as a cron-like job scheduler[68])
  • .snapshot
  • .slice (used to group and manage processes and resources[69])
  • .scope (used to group worker processes, not intended to be configured via unit files[70])

While many distributions boot systemd by default, some allow other init systems to be used; in this case switching the init system is possible by installing the appropriate packages. A fork of Debian called Devuan was developed to avoid systemd[98][99] and has reached version 4.0 for stable usage. In December 2019, the Debian project voted in favour of retaining systemd as the default init system for the distribution, but with support for "exploring alternatives".[100]

Integration with other software edit

In the interest of enhancing the interoperability between systemd and the GNOME desktop environment, systemd coauthor Lennart Poettering asked the GNOME Project to consider making systemd an external dependency of GNOME 3.2.[101]

In November 2012, the GNOME Project concluded that basic GNOME functionality should not rely on systemd.[102] However, GNOME 3.8 introduced a compile-time choice between the logind and ConsoleKit API, the former being provided at the time only by systemd. Ubuntu provided a separate logind binary but systemd became a de facto dependency of GNOME for most Linux distributions, in particular since ConsoleKit is no longer actively maintained and upstream recommends the use of systemd-logind instead.[103] The developers of Gentoo Linux also attempted to adapt these changes in OpenRC, but the implementation contained too many bugs, causing the distribution to mark systemd as a dependency of GNOME.[104][105]

GNOME has further integrated logind.[106] As of Mutter version 3.13.2, logind is a dependency for Wayland sessions.[107]

Reception edit

The design of systemd has ignited controversy within the free-software community. Critics regard systemd as overly complex and suffering from continued feature creep, arguing that its architecture violates the Unix philosophy. There is also concern that it forms a system of interlocked dependencies, thereby giving distribution maintainers little choice but to adopt systemd as more user-space software comes to depend on its components, which is similar to the problems created by PulseAudio, another project which was also developed by Lennart Poettering.[108][109]

In a 2012 interview, Slackware's lead Patrick Volkerding expressed reservations about the systemd architecture, stating his belief that its design was contrary to the Unix philosophy of interconnected utilities with narrowly defined functionalities.[110] As of August 2018, Slackware does not support or use systemd, but Volkerding has not ruled out the possibility of switching to it.[111]

In January 2013, Lennart Poettering attempted to address concerns about systemd in a blog post called The Biggest Myths.[42]

In February 2014, musl's Rich Felker opined that PID 1 is too special to be saddled with additional responsibilities, believing that PID 1 should only be responsible for starting the rest of the init system and reaping zombie processes, and that the additional functionality added by systemd can be provided elsewhere and unnecessarily increases the complexity and attack surface of PID 1.[112]

In March 2014 Eric S. Raymond commented that systemd's design goals were prone to mission creep and software bloat.[113] In April 2014, Linus Torvalds expressed reservations about the attitude of Kay Sievers, a key systemd developer, toward users and bug reports in regard to modifications to the Linux kernel submitted by Sievers.[114] In late April 2014 a campaign to boycott systemd was launched, with a website listing various reasons against its adoption.[115][116]

In an August 2014 article published in InfoWorld, Paul Venezia wrote about the systemd controversy and attributed the controversy to violation of the Unix philosophy, and to "enormous egos who firmly believe they can do no wrong".[117] The article also characterizes the architecture of systemd as similar to that of svchost.exe, a critical system component in Microsoft Windows with a broad functional scope.[117]

In a September 2014 ZDNet interview, prominent Linux kernel developer Theodore Ts'o expressed his opinion that the dispute over systemd's centralized design philosophy, more than technical concerns, indicates a dangerous general trend toward uniformizing the Linux ecosystem, alienating and marginalizing parts of the open-source community, and leaving little room for alternative projects. He cited similarities with the attitude he found in the GNOME project toward non-standard configurations.[118] On social media, Ts'o also later compared the attitudes of Sievers and his co-developer, Lennart Poettering, to that of GNOME's developers.[119]

Forks and alternative implementations edit

Forks of systemd are closely tied to critiques of it outlined in the above section. Forks generally try to improve on at least one of portability (to other libcs and Unix-like systems), modularity, or size. A few forks have collaborated under the FreeInit banner.[120]

Forks of components edit

eudev edit

In 2012, the Gentoo Linux project created a fork of udev in order to avoid dependency on the systemd architecture. The resulting fork is called eudev and it makes udev functionality available without systemd.[121] A stated goal of the project is to keep eudev independent of any Linux distribution or init system.[122] In 2021, Gentoo announced that support of eudev would cease at the beginning of 2022. An independent group of maintainers have since taken up eudev.[123]

elogind edit

Elogind is the systemd project's "logind", extracted to be a standalone daemon. It integrates with PAM to know the set of users that are logged into a system and whether they are logged in graphically, on the console, or remotely. Elogind exposes this information via the standard org.freedesktop.login1 D-Bus interface, as well as through the file system using systemd's standard /run/systemd layout. Elogind also provides "libelogind", which is a subset of the facilities offered by "libsystemd". There is a "libelogind.pc" pkg-config file as well.[124]

Alternatives to components edit

ConsoleKit2 edit

ConsoleKit was forked in October 2014 by Xfce developers wanting its features to still be maintained and available on operating systems other than Linux. While not ruling out the possibility of reviving the original repository in the long term, the main developer considers ConsoleKit2 a temporary necessity until systembsd matures.[125]

Abandoned forks edit

Fork of components edit

LoginKit edit

LoginKit was an attempt to implement a logind (systemd-logind) shim, which would allow packages that depend on systemd-logind to work without dependency on a specific init system.[126] The project has been defunct since February 2015.[127]

systembsd edit

In 2014, a Google Summer of Code project named "systembsd" was started in order to provide alternative implementations of these APIs for OpenBSD. The original project developer began it in order to ease his transition from Linux to OpenBSD.[128] Project development finished in July 2016.[129]

The systembsd project did not provide an init replacement, but aimed to provide OpenBSD with compatible daemons for hostnamed, timedated, localed, and logind. The project did not create new systemd-like functionality, and was only meant to act as a wrapper over the native OpenBSD system. The developer aimed for systembsd to be installable as part of the ports collection, not as part of a base system, stating that "systemd and *BSD differ fundamentally in terms of philosophy and development practices."[128]

notsystemd edit

Notsystemd intends to implement all systemd's features working on any init system.[130] It was forked by the Parabola GNU/Linux-libre developers to build packages with their development tools without the necessity of having systemd installed to run systemd-nspawn. Development ceased in July 2018.[131]

Fork including init system edit

uselessd edit

In 2014, uselessd was created as a lightweight fork of systemd. The project sought to remove features and programs deemed unnecessary for an init system, as well as address other perceived faults.[132] Project development halted in January 2015.[133]

uselessd supported the musl and µClibc libraries, so it may have been used on embedded systems, whereas systemd only supports glibc. The uselessd project had planned further improvements on cross-platform compatibility, as well as architectural overhauls and refactoring for the Linux build in the future.[134]

InitWare edit

InitWare is a modular refactor of systemd, porting the system to BSD platforms without glibc or Linux-specific system calls. It is known to work on DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and GNU/Linux. Components considered unnecessary are dropped.[135]

For other uses see System D disambiguation Not to be confused with System D or Systeme D systemd is a software suite that provides an array of system components for Linux 7 operating systems The main aim is to unify service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions 8 Its primary component is a system and service manager an init system used to bootstrap user space and manage user processes It also provides replacements for various daemons and utilities including device management login management network connection management and event logging The name systemd adheres to the Unix convention of naming daemons by appending the letter d 9 It also plays on the term System D which refers to a person s ability to adapt quickly and improvise to solve problems 10 systemdsystemd

systems such as SysV init It has been praised by developers and users of distributions that adopted it for providing a stable fast out of the box solution for issues that had existed in the Linux space for years 11 12 13 At the time of adoption of systemd on most Linux distributions it was the only software suite that offered reliable parallelism during boot as well as centralized management of processes daemons services and mount points Critics of systemd contend that it suffers from mission creep and bloat the latter affecting other software such as the GNOME desktop adding dependencies on systemd reducing its compatibility with other Unix like operating systems and making it difficult for sysadmins to integrate alternative solutions In addition they contend that the complexity of systemd results in a larger attack surface reducing the overall security of the platform 14 Concerns have also been raised about Red Hat and its parent company IBM controlling the scene of init

software engineers then working for Red Hat who initially developed systemd 2 started a project to replace Linux s conventional System V init in 2010 16 An April 2010 blog post from Poettering titled Rethinking PID 1 introduced an experimental version of what would later become systemd 17 They sought to surpass the efficiency of the init daemon in several ways They wanted to improve the software framework for expressing dependencies to allow more processing to be done concurrently or in parallel during system booting and to reduce the computational overhead of the shell In May 2011 Fedora Linux became the first major Linux distribution to enable systemd by default replacing Upstart The reasoning at the time was that systemd provided extensive parallelization during startup better management of processes and overall a saner dependency based approach to control of the system 18 In October 2012 Arch Linux made systemd the default switching from SysVinit 19 Developers had debated since August 2012 13 and came to the conclusion that it was faster and had more features than SysVinit and that maintaining the latter was not worth the effort in patches 20 Some of them thought that the criticism towards the implementation of systemd was not based on actual shortcomings of the software rather the disliking of Lennart from a part of the Linux community and the general hesitation for change Specifically some of the complaints regarding systemd not being programmed in bash it being bigger and more extensive than SysVinit the use of D bus and the optional on disk format of the journal were regarded as advantages by programmers 21 Between October 2013 and February 2014 a long debate among the Debian Technical Committee occurred on the Debian mailing list 22 discussing which init system to use as the default in Debian 8 jessie and culminating in a decision in favor of systemd The debate was widely publicized 23 24 and in the wake of the decision the debate continues on the Debian mailing list In February 2014 after Debian s decision was made Mark Shuttleworth announced on his blog that Ubuntu would follow in implementing systemd discarding its own Upstart 25 26 In November 2014 Debian Developer Joey Hess 27 Debian Technical Committee members Russ Allbery 28 and Ian Jackson 29 and systemd package maintainer Tollef Fog Heen 30 resigned from their positions All four justified their decision on the public Debian mailing list and in personal blogs with their exposure to extraordinary stress levels related to ongoing disputes on systemd integration within the Debian and FOSS community that rendered regular maintenance virtually impossible In August 2015 systemd started providing a login shell callable via machinectl shell 31 In September 2016 a security bug was discovered that allowed any unprivileged user to perform a denial of service attack against systemd 32 Rich Felker developer of musl stated that this bug reveals a major system development design flaw 33 In 2017 another security bug was discovered in systemd CVE 2017 9445 which allows disruption of service by a malicious DNS server 34 35 Later in 2017 the Pwnie Awards gave author Lennart Poettering a lamest vendor response award due to his handling of the vulnerabilities 36 Design edit nbsp The architecture of systemd as it is used by Tizen Several systemd targets including telephony bootmode dlog and tizen service are from Tizen and are not components of systemd 37 nbsp Unified hierarchy cgroups will be accessible exclusively by systemd through systemd nspawn 38 Poettering describes systemd development as never finished never complete but tracking progress of technology In May 2014 Poettering further described systemd as unifying pointless differences between distributions by providing the following three general functions 39 A system and service manager manages both the system by applying various configurations and its services A software platform serves as a basis for developing other software The glue between applications and the kernel provides various interfaces that expose functionalities provided by the kernel systemd includes features like on demand starting of daemons snapshot support process tracking 40 and Inhibitor Locks 41 It is not just the name of the init daemon but also refers to the entire software bundle around it which in addition to the systemd init daemon includes the daemons journald logind and networkd and many other low level components In January 2013 Poettering described systemd not as one program but rather a large software suite that includes 69 individual binaries 42 As an integrated software suite systemd replaces the startup sequences and runlevels controlled by the traditional init daemon along with the shell scripts executed under its control systemd also integrates many other services that are common on Linux systems by handling user logins the system console device hotplugging see udev scheduled execution replacing cron logging hostnames and locales Like the init daemon systemd is a daemon that manages other daemons which including systemd itself are background processes systemd is the first daemon to start during booting and the last daemon to terminate during shutdown The systemd daemon serves as the root of the user space s process tree the first process PID 1 has a special role on Unix systems as it replaces the parent of a process when the original parent terminates Therefore the first process is particularly well suited for the purpose of monitoring daemons systemd executes elements of its startup sequence in parallel which is theoretically faster than the traditional startup sequence approach 43 For inter process communication IPC systemd makes Unix domain sockets and D Bus available to the running daemons The state of systemd itself can also be preserved in a snapshot for future recall Core components and libraries edit Following its integrated approach systemd also provides replacements for various daemons and utilities including the startup shell scripts pm utils inetd acpid syslog watchdog cron and atd systemd s core components include the following systemd is a system and service manager for Linux operating systems systemctl is a command to introspect and control the state of the systemd system and service manager Not to be confused with sysctl systemd analyze may be used to determine system boot up performance statistics and retrieve other state and tracing information from the system and service manager systemd tracks processes using the Linux kernel s cgroups subsystem instead of using process identifiers PIDs thus daemons cannot escape systemd not even by double forking systemd not only uses cgroups but also augments them with systemd nspawn and machinectl two utility programs that facilitate the creation and management of Linux containers 44 Since version 205 systemd also offers ControlGroupInterface which is an API to the Linux kernel cgroups 45 The Linux kernel cgroups are adapted to support kernfs 46 and are being modified to support a unified hierarchy 47 Ancillary components edit Beside its primary purpose of providing a Linux init system the systemd suite can provide additional functionality including the following components nbsp A screenshot of systemd boot nbsp A screenshot of timedatectl journald systemd journald is a daemon responsible for event logging with append only binary files serving as its logfiles The system administrator may choose whether to log system events

the source tree for udev was merged into the systemd source tree 61 62 In order to match the version number of udev systemd maintainers bumped the version number directly from 44 to 183 63 On 29 May 2014 support for firmware loading through udev was dropped from systemd as it was decided that the kernel should be responsible for loading firmware 64 Configuration of systemd edit nbsp systemd

allow other init systems to be used in this case switching the init system is possible by installing the appropriate packages A fork of Debian called Devuan was developed to avoid systemd 98 99 and has reached version 4 0 for stable usage In December 2019 the Debian project voted in favour of retaining systemd as the default init system for the distribution but with support for exploring alternatives 100 Integration with other software edit In the interest of enhancing the interoperability between systemd and the GNOME desktop environment systemd coauthor Lennart Poettering asked the GNOME Project to consider making systemd an external dependency of GNOME 3 2 101 In November 2012 the GNOME Project concluded that basic GNOME functionality should not rely on systemd 102 However GNOME 3 8 introduced a compile time choice between the logind and ConsoleKit API the former being provided at the time only by systemd Ubuntu provided a separate logind binary but systemd became a de facto dependency of GNOME for most Linux distributions in particular since ConsoleKit is no longer actively maintained and upstream recommends the use of systemd logind instead 103 The developers of Gentoo Linux also attempted to adapt these changes in OpenRC but the implementation contained too many bugs causing the distribution to mark systemd as a dependency of GNOME 104 105 GNOME has further integrated logind 106 As of Mutter version 3 13 2 logind is a dependency for Wayland sessions 107 Reception editThe design of systemd has ignited controversy within the free software community Critics regard systemd as overly complex and suffering from continued feature creep arguing that its architecture violates the Unix philosophy There is also concern that it forms a system of interlocked dependencies thereby giving distribution maintainers little choice but to adopt systemd as more user space software comes to depend on its components which is similar to the problems created by PulseAudio another project which was also developed by Lennart Poettering 108 109 In a 2012 interview Slackware s lead Patrick Volkerding expressed reservations about the systemd architecture stating his belief that its design was contrary to the Unix philosophy of interconnected utilities with narrowly defined functionalities 110 As of August 2018 update Slackware does not support or use systemd but Volkerding has not ruled out the possibility of switching to it 111 In January 2013 Lennart Poettering attempted to address concerns about systemd in a blog post called The Biggest Myths 42 In February 2014 musl s Rich Felker opined that PID 1 is too special to be saddled with additional responsibilities believing that PID 1 should only be responsible for starting the rest of the init system and reaping zombie processes and that the additional functionality added by systemd can be provided elsewhere and unnecessarily increases the complexity and attack surface of PID 1 112 In March 2014 Eric S Raymond commented that systemd s design goals were prone to mission creep and software bloat 113 In April 2014 Linus Torvalds expressed reservations about the attitude of Kay Sievers a key systemd developer toward users and bug reports in regard to modifications to the Linux kernel submitted by Sievers 114 In late April 2014 a campaign to boycott systemd was launched with a website listing various reasons against its adoption 115 116 In an August 2014 article published in InfoWorld Paul Venezia wrote about the systemd controversy and attributed the controversy to violation of the Unix philosophy and to enormous egos who firmly believe they can do no wrong 117 The article also characterizes the architecture of systemd as similar to that of svchost exe a critical system component in Microsoft Windows with a broad functional scope 117 In a September 2014 ZDNet interview prominent Linux kernel developer Theodore Ts o expressed his opinion that the dispute over systemd s centralized design philosophy more than technical concerns indicates a dangerous general trend toward uniformizing the Linux ecosystem alienating and marginalizing parts of the open source community and leaving little room for alternative projects He cited similarities with the attitude he found in the GNOME project toward non standard configurations 118 On social media Ts o also later compared the attitudes of Sievers and his co developer Lennart Poettering to that of GNOME s developers 119 Forks and alternative implementations editForks of systemd are closely tied to critiques of it outlined in the above section Forks generally try to improve on at least one of portability to other libcs and Unix like systems modularity or size A few forks have collaborated under the FreeInit banner 120 Forks of components edit eudev edit In 2012 the Gentoo Linux project created a fork of udev in order to avoid dependency on the systemd architecture The resulting fork is called eudev and it makes udev functionality available without systemd 121 A stated goal of the project is to keep eudev independent of any Linux distribution or init system 122 In 2021 Gentoo announced that support of eudev would cease at the beginning of 2022 An independent group of maintainers have since taken up eudev 123 elogind edit Elogind is the systemd project s logind extracted to be a standalone daemon It integrates with PAM to know the set of users that are logged into a system and whether they are logged in graphically on the console or remotely Elogind exposes this information via the standard org freedesktop login1 D Bus interface as well as through the file system using systemd s standard run systemd layout Elogind also provides libelogind which is a subset of the facilities offered by libsystemd There is a libelogind pc pkg config file as well 124 Alternatives to components edit ConsoleKit2 edit ConsoleKit was forked in October 2014 by Xfce developers wanting its features to still be maintained and available on operating systems other than Linux While not ruling out the possibility of reviving the original repository in the long term the main developer considers ConsoleKit2 a temporary necessity until systembsd matures 125 Abandoned forks edit Fork of components edit LoginKit edit LoginKit was an attempt to implement a logind systemd logind shim which would allow packages that depend on systemd logind to work without dependency on a specific init system 126 The project has been defunct since February 2015 127 systembsd edit In 2014 a Google Summer of Code project named systembsd was started in order to provide alternative implementations of these APIs for OpenBSD The original project developer began it in order to ease his transition from Linux to OpenBSD 128 Project development finished in July 2016 129 The systembsd project did not provide an init replacement but aimed to provide OpenBSD with compatible daemons for hostnamed timedated localed and logind The project did not create new systemd like functionality and was only meant to act as a wrapper over the native OpenBSD system The developer aimed for systembsd to be installable as part of the ports collection not as part of a base system stating that systemd and BSD differ fundamentally in terms of philosophy and development practices 128 notsystemd edit Notsystemd intends to implement all systemd s features working on any init system 130 It was forked by the Parabola GNU Linux libre developers to build packages with their development tools without the necessity of having systemd installed to run systemd nspawn Development ceased in July 2018 131 Fork including init system edit uselessd edit In 2014 uselessd was created as a lightweight fork of systemd The project sought to remove features and programs deemed unnecessary for an init system as well as address other perceived faults 132 Project development halted in January 2015 133 uselessd supported the musl and µClibc libraries so it may have been used on embedded systems whereas systemd only supports glibc The uselessd project had planned further improvements on cross platform compatibility as well as architectural overhauls and refactoring for the Linux build in the future 134 InitWare edit InitWare is a modular refactor of systemd porting the system to BSD platforms without glibc or Linux specific system calls It is known to work on DragonFly BSD FreeBSD NetBSD and GNU Linux Components considered unnecessary are dropped 135 See also edit nbsp Free and open source software portal nbsp
