====== Ubuntu - SystemD - Custom Configuration for Template Systemd Service ======

A template systemd service contains the **@** symbol like the Syncthing service.

<code bash>
/lib/systemd/system/syncthing@.service
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  This kind of service allows you to run multiple instances.

  * For example, you can run Syncthing for two users with: <code bash>
sudo systemctl start syncthing@user1.service
sudo systemctl start syncthing@user2.service
</code>

</WRAP>

===== Add custom configuration to this kind of service =====

<code bash>
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/syncthing@user1.service.d
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/syncthing@user2.service.d
</code>

Create the custom configuration file.

<code bash>
sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/syncthing@user1.service.d/custom.conf
