* generate systemd: make mounts portableValentin Rothberg2021-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 748826fc88fc fixed a bug where slow mounting of the runroot was causing issues when the units are started at boot. The fix was to add the container's runroot to the required mounts; the graph root has been added as well. Hard-coding the run- and graphroot to the required mounts, however, breaks the portability of units generated with --now. Those units are intended to be running on any machine as, theoreticaly, any user. Make the mounts portable by using the `%t` macro for the run root. Since the graphroot's location varies across root and ordinary users, drop it from the list of required mounts. The graphroot was not causing issues.

* Revert escaped double dash man page flag syntaxPaul Holzinger2021-05-07
| | | | | | | | Commit 800a2e2d35 introduced a way to disable the conversion of `--`into an en dash on docs.podman.io, so the ugly workaround of escaping the dashes is no longer necessary. Signed-off-by: Paul Holzinger <paul.holzinger@web.de>

* Fix long option format on docs.podman.ioPaul Holzinger2021-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Escape the two dashes, otherwise they are combined into one long dash. I tested that this change is safe and still renders correctly on github and with the man pages. This commit also contains a small change to make it build locally. Assuming you have the dependencies installed you can do: ``` cd docs make html ``` Preview the html files in docs/build/html with `python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html`.

* Add RequiresMountsFor= to systemd generateRobb Manes2021-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is rare but possible that storage locations for the graphroot and the runroot are not mounted at boot time, and therefore might race when doing container operations. An example we've seen in the wild is that a slow tmpfs mount for the runroot would suddenly mount over /run, causing the container to lose all currently-running data, requiring a system refresh to get it back. This patch adds RequiresMountsFor= to the systemd.unit header to ensure the paths for both the graphroot and runroot are mounted prior to starting any generated unit files.

* | generate systemd: add `default.target` to INSTALLValentin Rothberg2020-03-09
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When enabling a systemd service we can specify which target will start it by specifying it in the `[INSTALL]` section. In case of root, this is commonly set to `multi-user.target` which is used to start other essential system services such as the network manager, D-BUS and more. However, the `multi-user.target` is not enough on all systems, especially when running rootless and enabling user services. Multiple users have reported issues that there isn't even an attempt to start the service. Setting the INSTALL target to `default.target` will fix the rootless case. However, `default.target` may vary among systems. Fedora Workstation, for instance, sets the `default.target` to the graphical target (i.e., runlevel 5) while Fedora Server sets it to `multi-user.target` which is on runlevel 2 and hence way earlier in the startup sequence. As INSTALL allows for specifying multiple INSTALL targets, we can set it to `multi-user.target` to continue supporting existing workloads AND to `default.target` which MAY redundantly attempt to start it at a later point; effectively a NOP for the root case and essential for rootless.

* podman-generate-systemd --newValentin Rothberg2020-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a --new flag to podman-generate-systemd to create a new container via podman-run instead of starting an existing container. Creating a new container presents the challenge to find a reverse mapping from a container to the CLI flags it can be created with. We are doing this via `(Container).Config.CreateCommand` field, which includes a copy of the process' command from procFS at creating time. This field may not be useful when the container was not created via the Podman CLI (e.g., via a Python script). Hence, we do not guarantee the correctness of the generated files.
