TuneD is a system tuning service for Linux.
TuneD is incompatible with cpupower and power-profiles-daemon. If you have these services, uninstall or disable them.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Monitors connected devices using the
udevdevice manager. - Tunes system settings according to a selected profile.
- Supports various types of configuration like
sysctl,sysfs, or kernel boot command line parameters, which are integrated in a plug-in architecture - Supports hot plugging of devices and can be controlled from the command line or through D-Bus, so it can be easily integrated into existing administering solutions: for example, with Cockpit
- Can be run in no-daemon mode with limited functionality (for example, no support for D-Bus,
udev, tuning of newly created processes, and so on) for systems with reduced resources - Stores all its configuration cleanly in one place – in the TuneD profile – instead of having configuration on multiple places and in custom scripts
- Control the daemon using the tuned-adm utility. This tool communicates with the daemon over DBus. Any user can list the available profiles and see which one is active. The active profile can be switched only by root user or by any user with physical console allocated on the machine (X11, physical tty, but no SSH).
- Profiles:
- Can be defined hierarchically, which reduces duplication and simplifies maintenance.
- Supports full rollback – the system can be easily returned to the state before the profile was applied. This can be handy for testing, benchmarking, experimenting, and so on.
- Includes a number of predefined profiles for common use cases:
- Show information/description of given profile or current profile.
- Currently only static detection is implemented.
