+ <h1>goetia-s6-linux-init</h1>
+ <h2>What is it?</h2>
+ <p>
+ goetia-s6-linux-init contains a configuration for
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-init/">s6-linux-init</a>.
+ It also contains wrappers around some of s6-linux-inits commands
+ to make them fit the rest of goetia.
+ Finally, it contains service directories for some
+ s6-linux-init specific daemons.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The configuration is used by copying
+ the <code>s6-linux-init</code> directory in the
+ <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/installdir.html">installation directory</a>
+ to <code>/etc/s6-linux-init/goetia</code>,
+ <em>renaming</em> the directory in the process.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It is <em>critical</em>,
+ that some arguments given to <code>./configure</code>
+ during the installation of
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6-linux-init/">s6-linux-init</a>
+ match those used in the goetia packages.
+ These are:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ <code>--tmpfsdir=...</code> which must be the same
+ in both the goetia packages and the s6-linux-init package.
+ The default is in both cases the same and can be left unchanged.
+ However, a change of this option in e.g.
+ <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/goetia-base">goetia-base</a>
+ mandates the exact same change of this option in s6-linux-init
+ and vice versa.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <code>--scandir=...</code> of s6-linux-init
+ which must match
+ <code>--sysrundir=...</code> in goetia.
+ This is by default <em>not</em> given.
+ If the default of goetia packages is kept,
+ <code>--scandir=system/service</code> has to be used
+ for s6-linux-init.
+ In general setting <code>--sysrundir=<var>@sysrundir@</var></code> on
+ goetia packages means having to set
+ <code>--scandir=<var>@sysrundir@</var>/service</code>
+ on s6-linux-init.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Additionally two things in respect to the
+ <code>run-image</code> subdirectory of the
+ <a href="//0x53.net/software/goetia/confdir.html#system">system configuration directory</a>
+ change <em>for system supervision trees only</em>.
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ The <code>run-image</code> subdirectory lies now at
+ <code>/etc/s6-linux-init/goetia/run-image</code>
+ instead of
+ <code><var>@sysconfdir@</var>/system/run-image</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ When using s6-linux-init, the <code>run-image</code> is now
+ copied to <code><var>@tmpfsdir@</var></code> instead of
+ <code><var>@tmpfsdir@</var>/<var>@sysrundir@</var>/system</code>.
+ This has to be accomodated for by adding an additional <code>system</code>
+ subdirectory between the <code>run-image</code> and the <code>service</code>
+ directory.
+ To make it more clear: this results in:
+ <code>/etc/s6-linux-init/goetia/run-image/system/service/</code>
+ instead of
+ <code>/etc/goetia/system/run-image/service/</code>
+ with goetia-linux-init.
+ Bear in mind that this has to be further corrected for every non standard
+ <code>--sysrundir=...</code> setting in the goetia packages.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ If all defaults are kept on the other geotia packages,
+ this means the following in practice:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ During the installation of s6-linux-init, run at least <code>./configure --scandir=system/service</code>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Symlink or copy
+ <a href="https://skarnet.org/software/s6/servicedir.html">service directories</a>
+ to <code>/etc/s6-linux-init/goetia/run-image/system/service/</code>.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
