That’s wild! I too have seen horror I wish I could forget.

For those still worried, the pain is limited to about 15 minutes of writing a unit file, testing it, and waiting for ci or builds to finish!

I expect to have to do this for older or more esoteric stuff, but I also enjoy writing unit files.

You can’t even do that as those are not deterministic.

I can’t do what? Write unit files for older applications? Because unit files? the applications? are not deterministic?
