The primary tool for interacting with Portable Services is `portablectl`,

     

       
16

and they are managed by the `systemd-portabled` system service.

`units` must be a list of derivations, and their names must be prefixed with the service name (`"demo"` in this case).

Otherwise `systemd-portabled` will ignore them.
