Systemd (Dynamic)User.md

Run commands as Systemd (Dynamic)User

My Systemd unit uses User=hass, but user is reasonably locked. su, sudo or runuser are not aplicable.

Install packages in Python venv

systemd-run --uid=$(id -u hass) --gid=$(id -g hass) /usr/bin/python -m venv /var/lib/hass/.venv && /var/lib/hass/.venv/bin/pip install packaging

Check Home Assistant config

systemd-run --uid=$(id -u hass) --gid=$(id -g hass) /usr/bin/python -m venv /var/lib/hass/.venv && /var/lib/hass/.venv/bin/hass --config /var/lib/hass/ --script check_config -i -f
