- That the tab pane switching is the slow part is a bit weird. Is there a difference when you see all units and a subset of units? Maybe open an issue and I can provide more possible settings that could be changed. - Jep, page up/down

It was great! The extensive documentation and the vast amount of widgets were definitely the main reasons why I have chosen to do it in Python/Textual rather than other languages/libraries. Though I don't agree with all desig

Thanks! I've put quite a lot of work into it and wanted the project to give a good first impression. This was important to me since I believe these "niche" TUI libraries need to immediately show what problems they are solving

Hey, thanks for mentioning this! I have included the flag in the docs.

I mean, I get why they don't want to "bloat" systemd with a complex/opinionated TUI, but I would've also really liked a more "upstreamed" interface. Though, I guess making systemd more beginner-friendly&#x

I have never used or touched k9s nor Kubernetes, so... Maybe?

Hey, mostly because the underlying TUI framework (textual) is _amazing_. Not gonna lie, I am not a big fan of Python anymore because of the dependency hell you can run into when working with CUDA libraries but uv is a breath of fresh air an

Maybe it is possible with `systemctl --host`... Though, I would have to make quite a few changes to the UI design since it would mean that there are "multiple modes". One for local and multiple remotes. So... Check back in a month

Author here: I also find this an important thing to ask yourself when you are running applications/scripts that do anything with sudo and which is why I have written a fairly in-depth "Security" section on the isd documentati

Yeah, silly me. It is fixed now, thanks for letting me know!

Nice! I didn't know that was an option. Definitely something I should make configurable in `isd` :+1:

Author here: Yeah, I agree. It is a bit weird. On the one hand, I understand that it makes sense to have [command] [verb] [object] on a "logical" level and that viewing logs should be a separate command (`journalctl`), but it is d

Funny that you mention that. I honestly thought not too many people would care about it. Though I am by far no security specialist. Please let me know where I can improve the section!

I am also a NixOS user and this is exactly what motivated me to work on this project! I am planning on adding some "guides" in the documentation but in short: You should check out `systemctl edit --runtime` for debugging units on

Dang. I have never heard of `systemctl --host`. Sadly not. It is more or less a fancy wrapper around (the local) `systemctl`. But there is also an appimage that should make it (hopefully) easy to run it on remote servers. Either way, feel f

Happy to hear! Please open an issue on GitHub if you encounter any silly alpha issues.
