Remove systemd restriction from Proxmox DAB

gistfile1.txt

This snippet is a response to https://bitbucket.org/flybyte/dab-templates to enable Proxmox DAB to
create Debian LXC templates that use systemd as the default init system. Following are the instructions
on what to do to get DAB creating a systemd LXC Debian template.

===

# Make a copy of DAB.pm
cp /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm.bak

---

# edit the DAB file
vim /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm

---

# comment line 461
result: # push @$incl, 'sysvinit-core'; # avoid systemd and udev

---

# Remove systemd, systemd-sysv and udev exclusions from line 463
result: push @$excl, qw(module-init-tools pciutils hdparm

---

# edit the DAB make file
vim /path/to/dab-templates/debian85_salt/Makefile

---

# install systemd and systemd-sysv during template creation (make sure all lines start with a tab).
result: dab bootstrap --minimal
        dab install systemd systemd-sysv
        [..]

---

# Create the template as instructed at https://bitbucket.org/flybyte/dab-templates.

---

# Revert the changes made to DAB.pm
rm /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm
cp /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm.bak /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm
