INIT SYSTEM

ROOT SERVICES (Currently none!)

<service>.sh to be symlinked to /etc/init.d/podman-containers

USER SERVICES AND RUNLEVELS

.config folder to be symlinked to ~

* XDG VARIABLES AND RUNNING USER SERVICES ON LOGIN

.profile to be symlinked to /home/$USER/.profile

RUN USERS SERVICES ON BOOT

Symlink /etc/init.d/user to /etc/init.d/user.$usernames. After add, add the latter service with rc-update as root.

IF <USER> HAS PASSWORD

Add the following to a new file in /etc/doas.d/:

permit nopass <user> as <user>
permit nopass root as <user>

Timed cron jobs

First, swap built-in crond for dcron. We need to swap cron binaries since we would have to give setgid capabilites to the whole Busybox binary to use the included cron binary, for which we also need to install libcap:

  # apk add dcron libcap
  ,** if crond is set up, remember to stop and delete it before continuing!
  # rc-service dcron start
  # rc-update add dcron
  # setcap cap_setgid=ep /usr/sbin/crond

After this, remember to add root and $USER to the cron group!

We now set up $USER's crontab as such:

  #crontab -u $USER -e
  
  @weekly ID=git-back.weekly /home/$user/pihanepi/orchestrating/cronjobs/forgejo-clone/forgejo-clone.sh

Finally, check /var/log/messages to confirm everything ran successfully.
