2026-07-01 15:07:35 <bdprom> this might be a stupid question, but which runlevel should networking services like dhcpcd, chrony, unbound, wg-quick be added to? 'boot' sounds like its for deeper hardware level services, so i assume these go into 'default', but the wiki seems to suggest adding networking to 'boot'
2026-07-01 15:07:41 <bdprom> maybe it doesnt even matter so much
2026-07-01 15:14:20 <grawity> I don't know the openrc flow well, but my guess would be, if it's not mandatory for the system to work -- e.g. you don't need chrony when doing some rescue tasks -- then I would put it in 'default'
2026-07-01 15:16:30 <PureTryOut> I have networking in general (I don't use the "networking" service but NetworkManager) on default. I have no need for networking during boot
2026-07-01 15:18:30 <bdprom> networking only configures lo for me, so i put it in boot (along with nftables), everything else in default seems to work
2026-07-01 18:03:00 <WhyNotHugo> I'm not a fan of that boot/default distinction: individual services should declare their individual dependencies, on have phases for ordering.
2026-07-01 18:03:27 <WhyNotHugo> I now there are other usages for runlevels, but most setups don't care about that distinction.
