[$] 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.
