From 689a65d878638ae67b07f111dd77ea3c624e4f58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Dong Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2022 13:39:47 -0400 Subject: contrib/init: Better systemd integration 1. Make logs available to journalctl (systemd's logging system) by not specifying -daemonwait, which rightfully has its own set of stdout and stderr descriptors (a user invoking with -daemonwait on the command line should not see any logs). It makes more sense not to daemonize in the systemd context anyway. 2. Make systemd aware of when bitcoind is started and in steady state by specifying -startupnotify='systemd-notify --ready' and Type=notify. NotifyAccess=all is necessary so that the spawned thread for startupnotify is allowed to inform systemd of bitcoind's readiness. Note that NotifyAccess=exec won't work because it only allows sd_notify readiness signalling from Exec*= declarations in the .service file. 3. Also make systemd aware of when bitcoind is stopping by specifying -shutdownnotify='systemd-notify --stopping' Note that we currently don't allow multiple *notify commands, but users can override it in systemd via: # systemctl edit bitcoind By specifying something like: [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/bitcoind -pid=/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid \ -conf=/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf \ -datadir=/var/lib/bitcoind \ -startupnotify='systemd-notify --ready; mystartupcommandhere' \ -shutdownnotify='systemd-notify --stopping; myshutdowncommandhere' --- contrib/init/bitcoind.service | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'contrib/init') diff --git a/contrib/init/bitcoind.service b/contrib/init/bitcoind.service index 93de353bb4..87da17f955 100644 --- a/contrib/init/bitcoind.service +++ b/contrib/init/bitcoind.service @@ -18,10 +18,11 @@ After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] -ExecStart=/usr/bin/bitcoind -daemonwait \ - -pid=/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid \ +ExecStart=/usr/bin/bitcoind -pid=/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid \ -conf=/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf \ - -datadir=/var/lib/bitcoind + -datadir=/var/lib/bitcoind \ + -startupnotify='systemd-notify --ready' \ + -shutdownnotify='systemd-notify --stopping' # Make sure the config directory is readable by the service user PermissionsStartOnly=true @@ -30,8 +31,10 @@ ExecStartPre=/bin/chgrp bitcoin /etc/bitcoin # Process management #################### -Type=forking +Type=notify +NotifyAccess=all PIDFile=/run/bitcoind/bitcoind.pid + Restart=on-failure TimeoutStartSec=infinity TimeoutStopSec=600 -- cgit v1.2.3
