Systemd

Go package that provides functions to interating with systemd features.

Features

• systemd notify - sd_notify (Type=notify and Type=notify-reload)
  • Allows applications to notify systemd about it's status, useful for ensuring systemd knows when a service actually starts or indicating status details.
  • Support for watchdogs to ensure applications are still alive, similar to a Kubernetes readiness probe.
• systemd sockets
  • Allows applications to bind to privileged ports without privileges.
  • Support for socket-activation to allow applications to be started automatically when an incoming connection comes in.
  • Simplifies binding to unix sockets as an application doesn't need special logic to handle it, instead just binds to a listener, the same as if a port was being used.
