NAME

       kresd.systemd - managing Knot Resolver 5.7.4 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
