% podman-generate-systemd(1)
## NAME
podman\-generate\-systemd - Generate systemd unit file(s) for a container. Not supported for the remote client
## SYNOPSIS
**podman generate systemd** [*options*] *container|pod*
## DESCRIPTION
**podman generate systemd** will create a systemd unit file that can be used to control a container or pod.
By default, the command will print the content of the unit files to stdout.
Note that this command is not supported for the remote client.
## OPTIONS:
**--files**, **-f**
Generate files instead of printing to stdout. The generated files are named {container,pod}-{ID,name}.service and will be placed in the current working directory.
**--name**, **-n**
Use the name of the container for the start, stop, and description in the unit file
**--new**
Create a new container via podman-run instead of starting an existing one. This option relies on container configuration files, which may not map directly to podman CLI flags; please review the generated output carefully before placing in production.
**--timeout**, **-t**=*value*
Override the default stop timeout for the container with the given value.
**--restart-policy**=*policy*
Set the systemd restart policy. The restart-policy must be one of: "no", "on-success", "on-failure", "on-abnormal",
"on-watchdog", "on-abort", or "always". The default policy is *on-failure*.
## Examples
Create and print a systemd unit file for a container running nginx with an *always* restart policy and 1-second timeout to stdout.
```
$ podman create --name nginx nginx:latest
$ podman generate systemd --restart-policy=always -t 1 nginx

Create systemd unit files for a pod with two simple alpine containers. Note that these container services cannot be started or stopped individually via `systemctl`; they are managed by the pod service. You can still use `systemctl status` or journalctl to examine them.
```
$ podman pod create --name systemd-pod
$ podman create --pod systemd-pod alpine top
$ podman create --pod systemd-pod alpine top
$ podman generate systemd --files --name systemd-pod
