How does one override a systemd unit for a package that was installed by the system’s package manager? (E.g. APT or Yum.)
It’s simple!
Just install your own unit file in /etc/systemd/system. systemd will look there before it looks in /usr/lib/systemd/system.
For additional info, see the section System Unit Search Path in the systemd.unit documentation.
If you’d do that, your changes would conflict with the package’s unit the next time you upgrade or re-install the package.
