Start Keybox as service about bastillion

[ausip]

Thanks @skavanagh, this is what I came up with after reading the document you provided the link to.

After verifying that Jetty and KeyBox were working correctly, I used the following procedure to setup, test and run Jetty / Keybox as a service on CentOS

mkdir /usr/local/KeyBox-jetty/jetty/temp
useradd --user-group --shell /bin/false --home-dir /usr/local/KeyBox-jetty/jetty/temp keybox
chown -R keybox /usr/local/KeyBox-jetty

cp /usr/local/KeyBox-jetty/jetty/bin/jetty.sh /etc/init.d/keybox
echo "JETTY_HOME=/usr/local/KeyBox-jetty/jetty" > /etc/default/keybox
echo "JETTY_BASE=/usr/local/KeyBox-jetty/jetty" >> /etc/default/keybox
echo "TMPDIR=/usr/local/KeyBox-jetty/jetty/temp" >> /etc/default/keybox

service keybox status
service keybox start

chkconfig keybox on

Jetty / Keybox now starts as a service, automatically on startup. It would be great if I could turn off the verbose mode though.

It just uses jetty, so these instructions should help

https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/startup-unix-service.html#d0e8663

I think the only difference is you would copy jetty.sh from /KeyBox-jetty/jetty/bin and
then set JETTY_HOME to /KeyBox-jetty/jetty

[skavanagh]

I know you can set

jetty.log.retain=90
jetty.logs=logs

in the KeyBox-jetty/jetty/modules/logging.mod file and that will setup log files and rotation for stderr/stdout. There should be a way to set the logging levels too.

This worked for me. Put the following in your /etc/init/ directory:

description "Keybox"
  start on runlevel [2345]
  stop on runlevel [06]
  respawn
  respawn limit 10 5
  env JETTY_HOME=/home/keybox/jetty
  env JETTY_BASE=/home/keybox/jetty
  env TMPDIR=/home/keybox/jetty/temp

  script
    export HOME="/home/keybox"
    cd $HOME/jetty/
    exec sudo -u keybox java -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar start.jar
  end script

I have the jetty files in /home/keybox/jetty located.

I tried to figure out how to create a Debian/Ubuntu init.d script, but being all this java / jetty stuff I have to admit this gets too complex to me...

I have tried to adapt somo script from logstash/Elasticsearch but no success...
Being a headless software, it would be great to have it "server friendly/ready"... hope some of you could help me.

Best regards!

You should just be able to follow the quick start instructions...

http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/startup-unix-service.html

your JETTY_HOME would need to be set to //KeyBox-jetty/
jetty

...I looked at it yestarday... being a Debian creature, I'm reluctant to add things on init.d folder that are not hortodox-debian-style LSB init scripts... So a first look at jetty.sh was somehow scaring to me.

Today a gave a second chance, basically following ausip steps posted in this same thread (which seems a lot to what I readed in the jetty linked site ...)

Starting fails that way...
Failed to start keybox.service: Unit keybox.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

Obviously something is missing or lacks pertinent permissions, the problem is what, and where this info (and presumably next errors) can be gethered.

Thank you for your help!

on Ubuntu 16.0.4
apt-get install jetty9
copy KeyBox-jetty/jetty/webapps/keybox.xml to /var/lib/jetty9/webapps
copy KeyBox-jetty/jetty/keybox to /opt/keybox
ln -s /opt/keybox /usr/share/jetty9/
rm -rf /var/lib/jetty/webapps/root
chown jetty /opt/keybox/WEB-INF/classes/keydb/keybox.mv.db
systemctl start jetty9

@Fratotec I've followed your instructions but I've received the error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error scanning entry META-INF/versions/9/org/apache/logging/log4j/util/ProcessIdUtil
.class from jar file:/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-api-2.9.1.jar

It seems that the jetty9 version does not support log4j (on ubuntu 16.04

[Fratotec]

Perhaps an issue with the newer version ?
I used keybox-jetty-v2.90_01.tar.gz, and the log4j libs are
/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-api-2.8.2.jar
/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.8.2.jar
/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-core-2.8.2.jar

[sebabordon]

Here I have

seba@gw:~$ ls /opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/lo* -1
/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-api-2.9.1.jar
/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-core-2.9.1.jar
/opt/keybox/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.9.1.jar

Maybe it's that!
