Feature Request for socket unit files

[mplaats]

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet: 6.x
• Ruby: 3.x
• Distribution: debian
• Module version: 5.0.0

Im missing a possibility to create socket unit files in the systemd module. As an example:

/etc/systemd/system/pdnsadmin.socket

[Unit]
Description=PowerDNS-Admin socket

[Socket]
ListenStream=/run/pdnsadmin/socket

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

Would be very helpfull if the module would be extended with this.

Looks like systemd::manage_unit doesn't have a socket_entry property. This can be considered a missing feature.

You should be able to provide it manually though:

systemd::unit_file { 'pdnsadmin.socket':
  content => 'TheActualContent',
  enable  => true,
  active  => true,
}
