Running solidDB server as a Linux systemd service
A solidDB server can be run as a systemd service in Linux. solidDB uses the systemd notify facility to inform it about database startup and shutdown.
Installing the solidDB systemd service
Before you begin
▪ The database must have been created before running solidDB as a systemd service.
Procedure
solidDB requires a systemd.service file. See man 5 systemd.service for details. Example file is provided below:
Example
soliddb.service
[Unit]
Description=solidDB
Documentation=https://support.unicomsi.com/manuals/soliddb/200
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Type=notify
User=soliddb # soliddb user
ExecStart=/opt/soliddb/200/bin/solid -s -C /path/to/solid.ini_and_solid.lic
ExecReload=/bin/kill -TERM $MAINPID # send SIGTERM to solid
KillMode=process
TimeoutSec=infinity # Wait for database to properly shutdown
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
▪ Place the solidDB.service file to /etc/systemd/system directory.
▪ Reload systemd configuration.
systemctl daemon-reload
▪ Enable solidDB service
systemctl enable soliddb.service
▪ Start solidDB service
systemctl start soliddb.service
To troubleshoot systemd service startup use:
journalctl -xe
solidDB will write only minimal logging information to system logging facilities. All solidDB outputs are written in solidDB current directory (specified with -C) regardless of systemd usage.
