Pseudo Systemd (Run systemd inside Docker container)

Pseudo systemd is a mock service manager designed for testing purposes. It will run systemd commands on Docker. It simulates the behavior of the systemd service manager, allowing you to start, stop, restart services as if you were working with the real systemd, this makes it an useful with Docker containers. So basically it runs
systemd inside Docker container.

How it works

This application fetches service files located in the /etc/systemd/system directory. It then parses these files and executes the command found in the ExecStart tag, within the specified WorkingDirectory.

How I use it with Docker

I first compile a static amd64 version and then transfer it as /usr/bin/systemctl with executable permissions.

TODO

• Implement restart
• Support multiple Environment Variables
• Trim key/values from .service files

Build

gcc -static systemctl.c -o systemctl
