Systemd service template

manuel.voss

Hi everybody.

I managed to install FusionAuth on Ubuntu. Went by the official guides and ran

sh -c "curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-install/master/install.sh | sh -s - -z"

Taken from https://fusionauth.io/download/.

This properly installed FusionAuth. After some fiddling around with the database setup, I can now run /var/lib/fusionauth/bin/startup.sh and FusionAuth will be up and running.

According to the documentation, services for systemd should have been installed, but that somehow didn't happen. So I can't call systemctl start fusionauth-app, also there is no file at /etc/init.d/fusionauth-app.

In order to still have FA running as a service, I created a quick systemd service configuration:

[Unit]
Description=FusionAuth

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/var/lib/fusionauth/bin/startup.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Sadly, this doesn't work. Does anyone have a working service definition or are there some templates?

Hmmm. I think you might be looking for the deb installation method, rather than the zipfile.

https://fusionauth.io/direct-download/ has the links.

@dan said in Systemd service template:

To Add to what @dan mentioned, you can install .deb or .rpm packages using the fast path install method. It will default to zip file installation.

For additional ways to call it - see the Fast Path install guide.
