I have not found exact duplicates for

How do symlinks work in systemd unit files (and when/why wont they)?

Specifically: How to inherit settings from a systemd unit to a newly created template?

but do believe that it is sufficiently complicated to warrant 1-2 quite detailed Q&A on askubuntu, unix&linux or here on serverfault.

My specific use case is likely only relevant to managing IT in a business env and the unexpected behavior may be changed in systemd anyway, but a good generic answer will likely help many others on any of those sites for as long as older current versions are in use.

  1. Where do I post my question (I intend to provide atleast a partial answer)?
  2. May I stuff my question with the other on-topic use cases to make the question more generally useful to potentially related problems like this one?

We like interesting IT questions.

You can certainly ask complex or unusual questions about how various aspects of systemd work. But to be sure you get a good answer, you should include as much detail about your use case as your company will allow you to do. Avoid making the question too generic; this usually doesn't work and makes it harder to provide a good answer.

    Once again, this turned out to be the more helpful approach. By dividing my problem into smaller pieces, i eventually figured out i was entirely wrong about which part was actually broken.
