Hi all,

Here’s what I came up with. I based the command against the koha-plack script.

I think a person could use systemd “instances” to make some of the command arguments more dynamic, which you’d want for a package install.

One could also explore other configuration options. I suppose we could also have a wrapper script executed instead of executing starman directly.

Lots of possibilities!

Subject: [Koha-devel] Replacing koha-plack, koha-start-zebra, etc with systemd services?

Hi all,

I’m about to start working on a systemd service for running Plack (for a non-package Koha install), and I was wondering if anyone else has thought about or is using systemd services for Plack, Zebra, etc.

Mason did a great job with a systemd service https://github.com/KohaAloha/koha-mysql-init/blob/master/koha-mysql-init.service for getting around the autoincrement issue (fixed in MySQL 8.0 https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-auto-increment-handling.html and MariaDB 10.2.4 https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/auto_increment/).

Anyway, once I’ve got something working, I’m happy to share it. Curious if anyone has any systemd unit files they’d like to share.
