Installing the server as services using systemd

You can find information about the steps to install the server to run as systemd services. After you configure a server using the systemd service, the server automatically restarts when it stops abruptly.

1. Log in to the server host machine.
2. Locate the product systemd directory by using the following command:

   cd <install-directory>/bin/systemd

3. Edit the unit file and specify the User and Group values that will run the server.
   User: The name of the user who will run the server.

   Group: The name of the group associated with the user.

   Your interface might look like the following example:

   Description=DevOps Deploy Server
   After=network.target
   
   [Service]
   # These must be changed (or removed) to set the appropriate agent account.
   User=ec2-user
   Group=ec2-user
   
   # Modifications to these are not supported.
   ExecStart="/home/ec2-user/ucd/server/bin/server” _systemd
   Type=exec
   KillSignal=SIGTERM
   SuccessExitStatus=0 9 143
   Restart=on-failure
   RestartForceExitStatus=9
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

   Note: When you customize the user and group values, you must update the ownership of the server files to match with the updated User and Group values.
4. Install the service unit file by using the following commands:

   sudo cp devops-deploy-server.service /etc/systemd/system
   sudo chmod 664 /etc/systemd/system/devops-deploy-server.service
   sudo chown root:root /etc/systemd/system/devops-deploy-server.service
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Enable the service to start automatically on system startup by using the following command:

   sudo systemctl enable devops-deploy-server

6. Start the server as service by using the following command:

   sudo systemctl start devops-deploy-server

sudo systemctl status devops-deploy-server
