It appears systemd-sysusers does not create home directories. On the

So I have to run systemd-sysusers, and after that, find the UID of the
user and chown the home directory? Or is there the equivalent of the
“useradd -m” flag somewhere that I’m just not seeing?
systemd-sysusers is, as the name suggests, really for _system_ users, and
often those kinds of users don't have ordinary home directories -- that
is, ones the user can actually write to.
However, systemd-sysusers.service is ordered before
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service at boot, so if you need to create a system
user's home directory and ensure its ownership is correct, you could use a
corresponding tmpfiles.d fragment to do so.
i hope you meant systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service is ordered before
systemd-sysusers.service and you simply talked about "Before=" which in fact
means ordered after
Sorry, I cannot work out what you are saying.
Take a look at the unit files as shipped in systemd.
systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service is ordered After=systemd-sysusers.service
(which is, as far as I can tell, equivalent to what I said before). It
needs to be that way around for a tmpfiles.d fragment to be able to
reference a user created by systemd-sysusers._______________________________________________
