I use a vpn which requires systemd... private internet access to be exact.
When you install it you cannot be root. Any suggestions? I use mxlinux atm.
Need a Puppy with systemd, so I can use a VPN

try using run-as-spot like for example
you could try
or
maybe something will work that is easy
Code: Select all
run-as-spot install.sh
Code: Select all
#su spot
#program-to-run
Code: Select all
#sudo -uspot program-to-run
Have a look at this thread:
puppy on systemd (experiment)
Also see:
init: Add switch init option #1730 (closed -- not merged)
init agnostic puppy #1727
None of these changes were merged, in part because systemd goes against the goals of puppy and also because the "switch init" feature isn't really necessary to change the init (see jamesbond's comments).
However, the above links might give you some insight on how to use systemd on puppy if you desire.

jafadmin has created an easy-to-use package that works with PIA using pptp. See http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93384. No systemd required.

systemd has a hole (new feature that may compromise VPN)

Hello Thank you'alls for for replying. @jamesbond...My original intent was to use the vpn on Fatdog. First try was with Fatdog 800, I set up a user so no problems with pre-install, but ran into the systemd bottleneck. Github has a sysvinit for pia.. https://github.com/MX-Linux/piavpn-sysvinit-compat so I tried it and no go with the 800 after converting the deb to txz. Tried Jfadmin's scripts to no avail. meh

Rather than trying to get systemd working in Puppy, I think it would be better and easier to get the VPN running without systemd. What exactly is asking for it anyway, their GUI application?
If you grab the .ovpn config file for the server you want to use you can connect using OpenVPN. This can be done from command line or I have been experimenting with a simple way of clicking in and out of VPN after a bit of configuring. Someone reported it working with PIA
