20 areas/user accounts created and managed by systemd-homed.service(8).

23 The default configuration is set during compilation, so configuration
24 is only needed when it is necessary to deviate from those defaults.
25 Initially, the main configuration file in /etc/systemd/ contains
26 commented out entries showing the defaults as a guide to the
27 administrator. Local overrides can be created by editing this file or
28 by creating drop-ins, as described below. Using drop-ins for local
29 configuration is recommended over modifications to the main
30 configuration file.
31 In addition to the "main" configuration file, drop-in configuration
33 snippets are read from /usr/lib/systemd/*.conf.d/,
34 /usr/local/lib/systemd/*.conf.d/, and /etc/systemd/*.conf.d/. Those
35 drop-ins have higher precedence and override the main configuration
36 file. Files in the *.conf.d/ configuration subdirectories are sorted by
37 their filename in lexicographic order, regardless of in which of the
38 subdirectories they reside. When multiple files specify the same
39 option, for options which accept just a single value, the entry in the
40 file sorted last takes precedence, and for options which accept a list
41 of values, entries are collected as they occur in the sorted files.
42 When packages need to customize the configuration, they can install
44 drop-ins under /usr/. Files in /etc/ are reserved for the local
45 administrator, who may use this logic to override the configuration
46 files installed by vendor packages. Drop-ins have to be used to
47 override package drop-ins, since the main configuration file has lower
48 precedence. It is recommended to prefix all filenames in those
49 subdirectories with a two-digit number and a dash, to simplify the
50 ordering of the files.
51 To disable a configuration file supplied by the vendor, the recommended
53 way is to place a symlink to /dev/null in the configuration directory
54 in /etc/, with the same filename as the vendor configuration file.

57 The following options are available in the [Home] section:
58 DefaultStorage=
60 The default storage to use for home areas. Takes one of "luks",
61 "fscrypt", "directory", "subvolume", "cifs". For details about
62 these options, see homectl(1). If not configured or assigned the
63 empty string, the default storage is automatically determined: if
64 not running in a container environment and /home/ is not itself
65 encrypted, defaults to "luks". Otherwise defaults to "subvolume" if
66 /home/ is on a btrfs file system, and "directory" otherwise. Note
67 that the storage selected on the homectl command line always takes
68 precedence.
69 DefaultFileSystemType=
71 When using "luks" as storage (see above), selects the default file
72 system to use inside the user's LUKS volume. Takes one of "btrfs",
73 "ext4" or "xfs". If not specified defaults to "btrfs". This setting
74 has no effect if a different storage mechanism is used. The file
75 system type selected on the homectl command line always takes
76 precedence.
