What is systemd?

systemd is the default init system and service manager for most modern Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Fedora. It manages system services, handles boot processes, and controls service dependencies.

Our Systemd Config Generator creates properly formatted .service files that systemd uses to manage your applications. These unit files define how your service should start, stop, restart, and behave when the system boots.

Common systemd Unit Types

Simple

Process runs in foreground. Most common type for web apps and APIs.

Forking

Process forks to background. Used for traditional daemons.

Oneshot

Runs once and exits. Perfect for initialization scripts.

Notify

Service notifies systemd when ready. Used by advanced applications.
