[$] Pondering systemd-homed for Fedora
Friday November 8, 2024. 05:05 PM , from LWN.net
Fedora Linux, as a rule, handles version upgrades reasonably
well. However, there are times when users may want to do a fresh installation rather than an upgrade but preserve existing users and data under /home. This is a scenario that the Fedora installer, currently, does not address. Users can maintain a separate /home partition, of course, but the installer does not incorporate existing users into the new install—that is an exercise left to the user to handle. One solution might be to use systemd-homed, a systemd service for managing users and home directories. However, a discussion proposing the use systemd-homed as part of Fedora installation uncovered some hurdles, such as trying to blend its approach to managing users with tools that centralize user management.
