+cdist-type__evilham_single_binary_service(7)
+============================================
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__evilham_single_binary_service - Setup a single-binary service
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This type is designed to easily deploy and configure a single-binary service
+named `${__object_id}`.
+
+A good example of this are Prometheus exporters.
+
+This type makes certain assumptions that might not be correct on your system.
+If you need more flexibility, please get in touch and provide a use-case
+(and hopefully a backwards-compatible patch).
+
+This type will place the downloaded binary and, if requested, other extra
+binaries in `/usr/local/bin`.
+
+If a `--config-file-source` is provided, it will be placed under:
+`/etc/${__object_id}.conf`.
+
+This type supports services managed by `__runit(7)` when `systemd` is not
+the init system being used.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+checksum
+    This will be passed verbatim to `__download(7)`.
+    Use something like `sha256:...`.
+
+url
+    This will be passed verbatim to `__download(7)`.
+
+version
+    This type will use a thumbstone file with a "version" number to track
+    whether or not a service must be updated.
+    This thumbstone file is placed under
+    `/usr/local/bin/.${__object_id}.cdist.version`.
+
+
+BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
+------------------
+unpack
+    If present, the contents of `--url` will be treated as an archive to be
+    unpacked with `__unpack(7)`.
+    See also `--unpack-args` and `--extra-binary`.
+
+do-not-manage-user
+    Always considered present when `--user` is `root`.
+    If present, the user in `--user` will not be managed by this type with
+    `__user`, this means it *must* exist beforehand when installing the service
+    and it will not be removed by this type.
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+config-file-source
+    If present, this file's contents will be placed under
+    `/etc/${__object_id}.conf` with permissions `0440` and ownership assigned to
+    `--user` and `--group`.
+    If `-` is passed, this type's `stdin` will be used.
+
+user
+    The user under which the service will run. Defaults to `root`.
+    If this user is not `root` and `--do-not-manage-user` is not present,
+    this user will be created or removed as per the `--state` parameter.
+
+user-home-dir
+    Does not have an effect if `--do-not-manage-user` is used or `--user` is
+    `root`.
+    The home directory of the service user. It will be created.
+    Defaults to `/nonexistent`, in this case the home directory will not be
+    created.
+
+group
+    The group under which the service will run. Defaults to `--user`.
+
+state
+    Whether the service is to be `present` (default) or `absent`.
+    When `absent`, this type will clean any binaries listed in `--extra-binary`
+    and also the config file as described in `--config-file-source`.
+
+binary
+    This will be the binary name. Defaults to `${__object_id}`.
+    If `--unpack` is used, a binary with this name must be unpacked.
+    Otherwise, the contents of `--url` will be placed under this binary name.
+
+service-args
+    Any extra arguments to pass along with `--service-exec`. Beware that any
+    service-args having the format `--config=/etc/foo.cfg` should be
+    represented in the following way `--service-exec='--config=/etc/foo.cfg'`
+
+service-exec
+    The executable to use for this service.
+    Defaults to `/usr/local/bin/BINARY_NAME` where `BINARY_NAME` is the
+    resulting value of `--binary`.
+
+service-definition
+    The service definition to be used as an override.
+    Note that this type decides dinammically between runit and systemd, and
+    you can currently only define either a systemd unit or a runit script here.
+    Use this parameter only for testing and get in touch to discuss how your
+    particular use-case can be supported by the type.
+
+service-description
+    The service description to be used in, e.g. the systemd unit file.
+    Defaults to `cdist-managed '${__object_id}' service`.
+
+unpack-args
+    Only has an effect if `--unpack` is used.
+    These arguments will be passed verbatim to `__unpack(7)`.
+    Very useful as this type assumes the archive does not have the binaries in
+    subdirectories; that can be worked around with
+    `--unpack-args '--tar-strip 1'`.
+
+unpack-extension
+    Only has an effect if `--unpack` is used.
+    The file extension of the file to unpack, defaults to `.tar.gz`.
+
+working-directory
+    If set, the working directory with which the service will be started.
+
+
+OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS
+----------------------------
+extra-binary
+    Only useful with `--unpack`.
+    If passed, these binaries will also be installed when `--state` is `present`
+    and removed when `--state` is `absent`.
+    Handle with care :-).
+
