+.SH "NAME"
+capsule@.service \- System unit for the capsule service manager
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.PP
+capsule@\fINAME\fR\&.service
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+Service managers for capsules run in
+capsule@\fINAME\fR\&.service
+system units, with the capsule name as the instance identifier\&. Capsules are way to run additional instances of the service manager, under dynamic user IDs, i\&.e\&. UIDs that are allocated when the capsule service manager is started, and released when it is stopped\&.
+.PP
+In many ways
+capsule@\&.service
+is similar to the per\-user
+user@\&.service
+service manager, but there are a few important distinctions:

+.ie n \{\

+.IP \(bu 2.3

+The capsule service manager utilizes
+\fIDynamicUser=\fR
+(see
+\fBsystemd.exec\fR(5)) to allocate a new UID dynamically on invocation\&. The user name is automatically generated from the capsule name, by prefixng
+"p_"\&. The UID is released when the service is terminated\&. The user service manager on the other hand operates under a statically allocated user ID that must be pre\-existing, before the user service manager is invoked\&.

+The capsule service manager and the capsule\*(Aqs bus broker can be reached via the
+\fB\-\-capsule=\fR
+switch to
+\fBsystemctl\fR(1),
+\fBsystemd-run\fR(1)
+and
+\fBbusctl\fR(1)\&.
+.PP
+New capsules can be started via a simple
+\fBsystemctl start capsule@\fR\fB\fINAME\fR\fR\fB\&.service\fR
+command, and stopped via
+\fBsystemctl stop capsule@\fR\fB\fINAME\fR\fR\fB\&.service\fR\&. Starting a capsule will implicitly create a home directory
+/var/lib/capsules/\fINAME\fR/, if missing\&. A runtime directory is created as
+/run/capsules/\fINAME\fR/\&. To remove these resources use
+\fBsystemctl clean capsule@\fR\fB\fINAME\fR\fR\fB\&.service\fR, for example with the
+\fB\-\-what=all\fR
+switch\&.
+.PP
+The
+capsule@\&.service
+unit invokes a
+\fBsystemd \-\-user\fR
+service manager process\&. This means unit files are looked for according to the sames rules as for regular user service managers, for example in
+/var/lib/capsules/\fINAME\fR/\&.config/systemd/user/\&.
+.PP
+Capsule names may be chosen freely by the user, however, they must be suitable as UNIX filenames (i\&.e\&. 255 characters max, and contain no
+"/"), and when prefixed with
+"p\-"
+be suitable as a user name matching strict POSIX rules, see
+\m[blue]\fBUser/Group Name Syntax\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
+for details\&.
