The Funtoo Linux project has transitioned to "Hobby Mode" and this wiki is now read-only.
Mitigating Systemd
Funtoo currently has no plans to migrate or adopt systemd as it's default init system. This does not prevent you from using systemd on your system. CoreOS, for example, is a systemd based system build on Gentoo.
For users not seeking to use systemd, that is, most Funtoo users, this page will serve both as the Funtoo development team's planning for the future, and information on how to avoid systemd in your system.
Components of systemd
systemd
Provides replacements for the following daemons or utilities:
- No results
- No results
- No results
- sys-power/acpid
- syslog
- No results
- cron
- atd
consoled
Provides a user console daemon and handles Linux Virtual terminal support.
hostnamed
This is a tiny daemon that can be used to control the host name and related machine meta data from user programs. It currently offers access to five variables:
- The current host name (Example: dhcp-192-168-47-11)
- The static (configured) host name (Example: lennarts-computer)
- The pretty host name (Example: Lennart's Computer)
- A suitable icon name for the local host (Example: computer-laptop)
- A chassis type (Example: "tablet")
journald
Provides logging functionality.
Provides replacement for the system logger.
machined
The daemon provides both a C library interface (which is shared with logind) as well as a D-Bus interface. The library interface may be used to introspect and watch the state of virtual machines/containers. The bus interface provides the same but in addition may also be used to register or terminate machines.
