SYSEXTMGRD(8) System Administration SYSEXTMGRD(8)

NAME

sysextmgrd - daemon to manage systemd-sysext images on openSUSE MicroOS

SYNOPSIS

sysextmgrd [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

sysextmgrd is the backend service that manages systemd-sysext(8) extension images. It is designed to run on openSUSE MicroOS and execute privileged operations securely on behalf of the unprivileged sysextmgrcli(1) client.

The daemon communicates with the client via varlink. It handles methods such as Check, Cleanup, ListImages and Update.

Normally, sysextmgrd is activated dynamically via a systemd socket when a client attempts to connect. However, it can also be started standalone as a standard daemon.

OPTIONS

-s, --socket

Run in socket activation mode. The daemon expects systemd to pass the listening socket.

-d, --debug

Enable debug mode for extended troubleshooting output.

-v, --verbose

Enable verbose logging during execution.

-?, --help

Give this help list and exit.

--version

Print program version and exit.
