Known Environment Variables

A number of systemd components take additional runtime parameters via environment variables. Many of these environment variables are not supported at the same level as command line switches and other interfaces are: we don't document them in the man pages and we make no stability guarantees for them. While they generally are unlikely to be dropped any time soon again, we do not want to guarantee that they stay around for good either.

Below is an (incomprehensive) list of the environment variables understood by the various tools. Note that this list only covers environment variables not documented in the proper man pages.

All tools:

  • $SYSTEMD_IGNORE_CHROOT=1 — if set, don't check whether being invoked in a chroot() environment. This is particularly relevant for systemctl, as it will not alter its behaviour for chroot() environments if set. (Normally it refrains from talking to PID 1 in such a case.)

  • $SD_EVENT_PROFILE_DELAYS=1 — if set, the sd-event event loop implementation will print latency information at runtime.

systemctl:

  • $SYSTEMCTL_FORCE_BUS=1 — if set, do not connect to PID1's private D-Bus listener, and instead always connect through the dbus-daemon D-bus broker.

  • $SYSTEMCTL_INSTALL_CLIENT_SIDE=1 — if set, enable or disable unit files on the client side, instead of asking PID 1 to do this.

  • $SYSTEMCTL_SKIP_SYSV=1 — if set, do not call out to SysV compatibility hooks.

systemd-nspawn:

  • $UNIFIED_CGROUP_HIERARCHY=1 — if set, force nspawn into unified cgroup hierarchy mode.

  • $SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_API_VFS_WRITABLE=1 — if set, make /sys and /proc/sys and friends writable in the container. If set to "network", leave only /proc/sys/net writable.

  • $SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_CONTAINER_SERVICE=… — override the "service" name nspawn uses to register with machined. If unset defaults to "nspawn", but with this variable may be set to any other value.

  • $SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_USE_CGNS=0 — if set, do not use cgroup namespacing, even if it is available.

  • $SYSTEMD_NSPAWN_LOCK=0 — if set, do not lock container images when running.

systemd-logind:

  • $SYSTEMD_BYPASS_HIBERNATION_MEMORY_CHECK=1 — if set, report that hibernation is available even if the swap devices do not provide enough room for it.
