DH_INSTALLSYSTEMD(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLSYSTEMD(1)
dh_installsystemd - install systemd unit files
dh_installsystemd [debhelper options] [--restart-after-upgrade]
[--no-stop-on-upgrade] [--no-enable] [--no-start] [--name=name]
[unit file ...]
dh_installsystemd is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing package maintainer supplied systemd unit files.
It also finds the service files installed by a package and
generates preinst, postinst, and prerm code blocks for enabling,
disabling, starting, stopping, and restarting the corresponding
systemd services, when the package is installed, updated, or
removed. These snippets are added to the maintainer scripts by
dh_installdeb(1).
deb-systemd-helper(1) is used to enable and disable systemd
units, thus it is not necessary that the machine actually runs
systemd during package installation time, enabling happens on all
machines in order to be able to switch from sysvinit to systemd
and back.
dh_installsystemd operates on all unit files installed by a
package. For only generating blocks for specific unit files, pass
them as arguments, "dh_installsystemd quota.service". Specific
unit files can be excluded from processing using the -X common
debhelper(1) option.
debian/package.mount, debian/package.path, debian/package@.path,
debian/package.service, debian/package@.service,
debian/package.socket, debian/package@.socket,
debian/package.target, debian/package@.target,
debian/package.timer, debian/package@.timer
If any of those files exists, they are installed into
usr/lib/systemd/system/ in the package build directory.
debian/package.tmpfile
Only used in compat 12 or earlier. In compat 13+, this file
is handled by dh_installtmpfiles(1) instead.
If this exists, it is installed into usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ in
the package build directory. Note that the "tmpfiles.d"
mechanism is currently only used by systemd.
--no-enable
Disable the service(s) on purge, but do not enable them on
install.
Note that this option does not affect whether the services
are started. Please remember to also use --no-start if the
service should not be started.
--name=name
This option controls several things.
It changes the name that dh_installsystemd uses when it looks
for maintainer provided systemd unit files as listed in the
"FILES" section. As an example, dh_installsystemd --name foo
will look for debian/package.foo.service instead of
debian/package.service). These unit files are installed as
name.unit-extension (in the example, it would be installed as
foo.service).
Furthermore, if no unit files are passed explicitly as
command line arguments, dh_installsystemd will only act on
unit files called name (rather than all unit files found in
the package).
--restart-after-upgrade
Do not stop the unit file until after the package upgrade has
been completed. This is the default behaviour in compat 10.
In earlier compat levels the default was to stop the unit
file in the prerm, and start it again in the postinst.
This can be useful for daemons that should not have a
possibly long downtime during upgrade. But you should make
sure that the daemon will not get confused by the package
being upgraded while it's running before using this option.
--no-restart-after-upgrade
Undo a previous --restart-after-upgrade (or the default of
compat 10). If no other options are given, this will cause
the service to be stopped in the prerm script and started
again in the postinst script.
-r, --no-stop-on-upgrade, --no-restart-on-upgrade
Do not stop service on upgrade. This has the side-effect of
not restarting the service as a part of the upgrade.
If you want to restart the service with minimal downtime,
please use --restart-after-upgrade (default in compat 10 or
later). If you want the service to be restarted but be
stopped during the upgrade, then please use
--no-restart-after-upgrade (note the "after-upgrade").
Note that the --no-restart-on-upgrade alias is deprecated and
will be removed in compat 14. This is to avoid confusion
with the --no-restart-after-upgrade option.
--no-start
Do not start the unit file after upgrades and after initial
installation (the latter is only relevant for services
without a corresponding init script).
Note that this option does not affect whether the services
are enabled. Please remember to also use --no-enable if the
services should not be enabled.
unit file ...
Only process and generate maintscripts for the installed unit
files with the (base)name unit file.
Note: dh_installsystemd will still install unit files from
debian/ but it will not generate any maintscripts for them
unless they are explicitly listed in unit file ...
This command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
between invocations of this command (with the same arguments).
Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be
added to maintainer scripts.
