# systemctl-tui

[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/systemctl-tui.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/systemctl-tui)

A fast, simple TUI for interacting with [systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd) services and their logs.

`systemctl-tui` can quickly browse service status and logs, and start/stop/restart services. It aims to do a small number of things well.

## Install

Note: this project only works on Linux (WSL works _if_ you [have systemd enabled](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/systemd-support-is-now-available-in-wsl/)). Binaries are published for x64 and ARM64 in the GitHub releases, and [distro packages](#distro-packages) are available.

If you'd rather build from scratch you will need [Rust installed](https://rustup.rs/). Then either:

1. Run `cargo install systemctl-tui`
2. Clone the repo and run `cargo build --release` to get a release binary at `target/release/systemctl-tui`

#### Arch Linux

`systemctl-tui` can be installed from the [official repositories](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/systemctl-tui/):

```sh
pacman -S systemctl-tui
```

#### Nix

[A Nix package](https://search.nixos.org/packages?query=systemctl-tui) is available and can be installed as follows:

```sh
nix-shell -p systemctl-tui
```

#### Optional:

1. Alias `systemctl-tui` to `st` for quick access
2. Create a symlink so `systemctl-tui` can be used with sudo:

```sh
sudo ln -s ~/.cargo/bin/systemctl-tui /usr/bin/systemctl-tui
```
