I've done my best to update this package to have it closely resemble upstream (SuSE) where possible, and using Fedora Core's systemd service files for the rest. This was a pretty large change overall. Please let me know if you have issues. It might be best to manually remove the old icecream package and verify all the contents are gone. @hunger: Also FWIW, type=simple + the -d option is not correct. However, I've dropped the -d and gone with type=simple because of the issue you reported. This matches the FC service as well.

@hunger Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation. You are correct about Type=simple. I noticed some other changes in the upstream package which I never bothered to look at when I adopted the package. I should probably work to incorporate those, and may as well do it on the update with Type=simple. I will try to get it completed today or tomorrow. Thanks!

I had to add the following override to icecream.service: ProtectSystem=full PrivateDevices=true PrivateTmp=true ProtectHome=on NoNewPrivileges=true Type=simple The Protect*, Private* and NoNewPrivileges are just to harden the installation. That will prevent some attacks. But without Type=simple the iceccd would stop with a timeout after a while. It apparently does need -d to detach, so Type=forking is probably wrong -- and you do not want forking anyway if you can avoid that with systemd.

I disown the package if anyone wants to take it :)

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecream-git/ does indeed work better. But there is also aur/icecc. aur/icemon-git depends on aur/icecc. Whereas aur/iceberg-git does not build. Does that mean icecc is the one that regular users should be running? Apparently. It does seem to work. But it is version 1.0.1.

It's confusing that the user name is different between icecream-git and this build, and this one is not managing it well. The first time I installed this (tried to "upgrade" from icecream-git) it failed to change /etc/passwd, so I edited it myself to ensure that both users exist. Set the home dir to /tmp (why would it have /home/icecc given that directory does not exist?) Then had to modify /usr/lib/icecream/icecream-schedulerd: - /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/scheduler -d $netname $logfile &>/dev/null + /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/icecc-scheduler -d $netname $logfile &>/dev/null If the user name is now icecc, this line needs changing too: chown icecream:icecream $ICECREAM_LOG_FILE So now I have the scheduler running (shown by ps): icecc 1991 0.1 0.0 23600 3076 ? Ss 11:08 0:05 /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/icecc-scheduler -d -l /var/log/iceccd But the icecream service silently failed to start. (Why silently?) When trying to run the daemon manually I could see chown/chmod in cleanup_cache() failed Operation not permitted So I modified source to find out what such an ambiguous error message could mean. It turns out that /tmp/icecc-envs already existed and belonged to the wrong user. I removed it, and now I can run the daemon manually. But systemd still doesn't really run it, even though it thinks it was successful. So I put an echo command into /usr/lib/icecream/icecreamd to see what it does; the command line is /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/iceccd -d -l /var/log/iceccd --nice 5 -b /var/cache/icecream and it runs as user icecc. So /var/cache/icecream needs to belong to that user. Shouldn't the two daemons have separate log files? Now they are both going to /var/log/iceccd. So I make the scheduler log go to /var/log/icecc-scheduler instead (by setting ICECREAM_LOG_FILE=/var/log/icecc-scheduler in /usr/lib/icecream/icecream-schedulerd).

I recommend going for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecream-git/ instead, that works well for me.

Sorry that took so long, I've disowned the package so feel free to adopt it. Thank you :)

> icecream service doesn't start. This is probably due to /var/cache/icecream not being writable by the user icecc runs with, since it will either fail to create the dir if it doesn't exist (strace logs): mkdir("/var/cache/icecream", 0755) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) Or fail to own it afterwards, since it will try to own the directory after revoking its privileges: setresuid(1001, 1001, 1001) = 0 ... chown("/var/cache/icecream", 1001, 1001) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) I think the best way would be to create a bug report to icecream so it chown() the dir before revoking privileges. But.... creating the dir beforehand and giving proper privileges works as well. IMO we should change the type of .service file to "simple" and the last line of the script to: exec /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/iceccd $logfile $nice $netname -b "$ICECREAM_BASEDIR" $maxjobs $noremote This way we get proper logs on "systemctl status icecream"

In icecream-schedulerd: /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/scheduler -d $netname $logfile &>/dev/null needs to change to: /usr/lib/icecream/sbin/icecc-scheduler -d $netname $logfile &>/dev/null Otherwise systemctl start icecream-scheduler will fail. icecream-scheduler needs icecream user/groug which isn't created on install. icecream needs icecc user which isn't created on install. icecream service doesn't start.
