Hi, I have an application that in part consists of a number of instances of similar processes (each with their own configuration and bound to neighbouring ports, etc.)
I could create a .service file for each instance from a template but I'm wondering whether systemd has some built-in way of handling this situation. Maybe something akin to generators but for services based on a template and with fewer early-boot requirements? Previously I had a single init script (init.d.fake/app-N) to which I pointed a symlink for each instance (e.g. init.d/app-5) and the init script would extract the instance number from $0. So only a single file to maintain. Systemd seems just a little more awkward. Obviously its trivial to template this outside of systemd but am I missing something native?
