Config...Systemd(3pm)

💖 Config...Systemd 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's all about a lil plugin called Config::Model::Backend::Systemd 🎀 she does R/W (read/write, duh) for your systemd configurations files ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Model::Backend::Systemd — R/W backend for systemd configurations files 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.260.1 — yes she has a version number, she's a whole grown module 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

# in systemd model
rw_config => {
    'backend' => 'Systemd'
}

that's it. that's the whole vibe. drop 'backend' => 'Systemd' in your rw_config and you're off 🏃‍♀️✨

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Config::Model::Backend::Systemd is a plugin class whose entire job is enabling Config::Model to read and write systemd configuration files. no cap, that's the gig 💅

she inherits Config::Model::Backend::Any and is designed to be used by Config::Model::BackendMgr. so she's not out here freelancing, she's got a whole team behind her 🫶

🌈 Methods 🌈

read 📖

this method scans the systemd default directory and the systemd config directory to create all units in the Config::Model tree 🌳✨ the actual configuration parameters are read by Config::Model::Backend::Systemd::Unit (she delegates, she's a good manager 😌)

write ✍️

okay so this one is, and I quote, "a bit of a misnomer" 💀 it doesn't write anything — it deletes configuration files of a deleted service. it's giving cleanup crew energy 🧹

the actual configuration parameters are written by Config::Model::Backend::Systemd::Unit. so like, write is the name on the badge but the real work happens elsewhere, iykyk 🙈
