When a portable service uses extensions, we use the 'main' image name (the one where the unit was found in) as PORTABLE=. It is useful to also list all the images actually used at runtime, as they might contain libraries and so on. Use PORTABLE_ROOT= for the image/directory that is used as RootImage= or RootDirectory=, and PORTABLE_EXTENSION= for the image/directory that is used as ExtensionImages= or ExtensionDirectories=. Note that these new fields are only added if extensions are used, there's no change for single-DDI portables. Example with a base and two extensions, with the unit coming from the first extension: [Service] RootImage=/home/bluca/git/systemd/base.raw Environment=PORTABLE=app0.raw BindReadOnlyPaths=/etc/os-release:/run/host/os-release LogExtraFields=PORTABLE=app0.raw LogExtraFields=PORTABLE_ROOT=base.raw ExtensionImages=/home/bluca/git/systemd/app0.raw LogExtraFields=PORTABLE_EXTENSION=app0.raw ExtensionImages=/home/bluca/git/systemd/app1.raw LogExtraFields=PORTABLE_EXTENSION=app1.raw
