Three options: 1. Use templating, works great if you have a single parameter 2. Use drop-ins, i.e. define separate unit files for each instance, listing only the stuff that actually differs in each instance, and pull in the common stuff via a drop-in you symlink into the .d/ subdir of each instance. Covers things nicely, but of course only works to override or extend full lines. 3. Use a template engine/macro language of your choosing, such as m4 or so. > Let’s take a concrete example, websites.
