go-systemd
Go bindings to systemd. The project has several packages:
activation
- for writing and using socket activation from Godbus
- for starting/stopping/inspecting running services and unitsjournal
- for writing to systemd's logging service, journaldsdjournal
- for reading from journald by wrapping its C APImachine1
- for registering machines/containers with systemdunit
- for (de)serialization and comparison of unit files
Socket Activation
An example HTTP server using socket activation can be quickly set up by following this README on a Linux machine running systemd:
https://github.com/coreos/go-systemd/tree/master/examples/activation/httpserver
Journal
Using the pure-Go journal
package you can submit journal entries directly to systemd's journal, taking advantage of features like indexed key/value pairs for each log entry.
The sdjournal
package provides read access to the journal by wrapping around journald's native C API; consequently it requires cgo and the journal headers to be available.
D-Bus
The dbus
package connects to the systemd D-Bus API and lets you start, stop and introspect systemd units. The API docs are here:
http://godoc.org/github.com/coreos/go-systemd/dbus
Debugging
Create /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf
that looks like this:
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<policy user="root">
<allow eavesdrop="true"/>
<allow eavesdrop="true" send_destination="*"/>
</policy>
</busconfig>
machined
The machine1
package allows interaction with the systemd machined D-Bus API.
Units
The unit
package provides various functions for working with systemd unit files.
