Add homed support (!144) · Merge requests · accountsservice / accountsservice · GitLab

Due to an influx of spam, we have had to impose restrictions on new accounts. Please see this wiki page for instructions on how to get full permissions. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Equinix is shutting down its operations with us on April 30, 2025. They have graciously supported us for almost 5 years, but all good things come to an end.

Given the time frame, it's going to be hard to make a smooth transition of the cluster to somewhere else (TBD). Please expect in the next months some hiccups in the service and probably at least a full week of downtime to transfer gitlab to a different place.

All help is appreciated.

Adrian Vovk requested to merge AdrianVovk/accountsservice:homed into main Oct 29, 2023

This integrates AccountsService w/ systemd-homed.

AccountsService can now:

Enumerate systemd-homed users
Detect when homed users are added/removed
Create homed users
Delete homed users

AccountsService cannot:

Mutate homed users in any way (needs some support from homed)
Change passwords (needs some support from homed)
Create users w/o a password (needs some support from homed) - the users we create have a password set to "" (a blank string)

Work done as part of my efforts in integrating GNOME w/ homed. See here to better track my progress

Closes #89
