NAME

       kresd.systemd - managing Knot Resolver 5.5.1 through systemd.

SYNOPSIS

       kresd@.service
       kresd.target
       system-kresd.slice

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes how to manage kresd using systemd units.

       QUICKSTART

           systemctl start kresd@1 - single instance of kresd, responding on localhost

       CONCURRENT DAEMONS

       kresd  daemon  can  be  executed in multiple independent processes, which are managed with
       systemd via systemd templates (see systemd.unit(5)).  Each  systemd  service  instance  of
       kresd (kresd@.service) represents a single, independent kresd process.

       If  you  have more than one CPU core available, a single running kresd daemon will only be
       able to make use of one core at a time, leaving the other cores idle.  If you  want  kresd
       to take advantage of all available cores, while sharing both cache and sockets, you should
       enable and start as many instances of the kresd@.service as you  have  cores.   Typically,
       each  instance is just named kresd@N.service, where N is a decimal number. For example, to
       enable and start 3 concurrent daemons:

           systemctl enable --now kresd@1.service kresd@2.service kresd@3.service

       The systemd-managed kresd service set is grouped in  the  system-kresd.slice  slice.   The
       slice includes all running daemons (instances of kresd@.service).

EXAMPLES

       To start a single kresd instance and enable it at boot:
           systemctl enable --now kresd@1.service

       To  restart  (or  stop) all running instances, you can use a glob expression.  Please note
       that glob can't be used to start or enable instances.
           systemctl restart 'kresd@*'

       Bash users can also use Brace Expansion to enable or start multiple instances, instead  of
       listing them manually.
           systemctl enable --now kresd@{1..4}.service

       To start all enabled kresd daemons, you can also use the provided kresd.target:
           systemctl start kresd.target
