Bundle your app in a systemd portable service

portabledize

Bundle your app in a systemd portable service!

Get started

Prepare your files. You must declare the files you need to run your app. You have at least an entrypoint file (ex: a statically compiled binary) and a systemd service file.

# files.txt
./my-binary /usr/bin/my-binary
./my-service.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/my-service.service

Bundle it. Give the files as input and set the name of the output file.

Important

The output file must have the following format: SERVICE_NAME.raw where SERVICE_NAME is merely the name of your service file (without the .service extension)

portabledize.sh -f files.txt -o my-service.raw

Attach your service. Then you can start it!

sudo portablectl attach my-service.raw
sudo systemctl start my-service
