Description
Hello
I have noticed that after every update, the systemd service for Webmin gets re-enabled to start on boot. This happens even though I manually disable it each time.
Steps to Reproduce
- Disable the Webmin service using
systemctl disable webmin
- Check the service status using
systemctl status webmin
. The output shows:Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/webmin.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
- Wait for a new release, and run
apt upgrade
. (I didn't test with automatic upgrades (p.s. security updates are configured to get installed automatically)). - Check the service status again using
systemctl status webmin
Expected Behavior
After running apt upgrade
, the service status should remain as disabled: Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/webmin.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Actual Behavior
After running apt upgrade
, the service status shows as enabled: Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/webmin.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Additional Information
I prefer to keep the Webmin service disabled and only start it as needed. It's worth noting that the background services like SMART monitoring and automatic package updates still work even when the Webmin service is not running. (good thing)
Environment
- Webmin version: Current (2.111)
- Operating System: Debian 11
- Systemd version: Current (systemd 247 (247.3-7+1-pmx11u1))
I furnish this issue to be evaluated by the dev team. Thank you.
