The service is deployed with standard systemd package, which doesn't have that set as far as I see it (no SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE_${PN} in the latest recipe revision)

I think, after browsing through the code of systemd - this "autostart" behavior comes from [1].
So I would say you can disable it with a drop-in file at
/etc/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service.d/disable.conf
[Install]
WantedBy=

which also would be charming in a way that it isn't that invasive in the build system

haven't tested it though, but you might wanna give that a shot, if Aaron's approach doesn't work.

I think you need to set SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE = “disable” (actually any value other than “enable”) in your bbappend.

(It looks like SYSTEMD_AUTO_ENABLE_${PN} is intended to work too, but I can’t verify it at the moment and reading over systemd.bbclass I’m not sure if it works or not)

    Hi,

    I would like to have systemd-timesyncd.service as part of an image
    but have it disabled by default.

    Right now it is enabled by default which causes some issues.

    I've tried systemd_%.bbappend

    do_install_append() {
         rm "$D/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.timesync1.service"
         rm
    "$D/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/systemd-timesyncd.service"
    }

    but those symlinks are not part of the package.

    I've tried this to remove the link during the package deployment
    during do_rootfs
    pkg_postinst_${PN}_append() {
         #!/bin/sh -e
         rm "$D/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.timesync1.service"
         rm
    "$D/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/systemd-timesyncd.service"
    }

    But at this stage the links still don't exist.

    Which package is actually responsible for enabling the default
    services / creating the symlinks? How can we turn some of them off
    while keeping them in the image?

    Thanks,
    -Damien
