This skill automates deploying user-level systemd services for applications, removing the need for manual service setup and sudo access in development and lightweight production environments.
Create a smdctl.yml in your project with name and command, then run smdctl run -f smdctl.yml to deploy the service.

Deploying persistent background workers without sudo is done by configuring user-level systemd services. This skill automates generating and managing these services from a YAML config, removing the need for manual root-level setup.
Yes, you can schedule periodic tasks using systemd timers defined directly within your YAML configuration. The deployment process reads these timer definitions and creates the corresponding systemd user timers for automated maintenance.
To create a systemd user service, define your Python or Node app's name, command, and working directory in a YAML file. Running the deployment command generates and starts the persistent user-level service automatically.
No, root privileges are not required to run persistent applications with systemd. This skill specifically deploys user-level systemd services, allowing you to run and manage background tasks within your own user session without sudo.
The best way to manage environment variables and restart policies is by defining them in a single YAML configuration file. This approach centralizes your service settings and automatically applies them to the generated systemd user services.
Using YAML configuration for systemd services automates deployment and removes the need to manually write and manage unit files. It streamlines defining service names, commands, environments, and timers in one centralized file before generation.
