Run resilient-circuits as a service

Configure resilient-circuits to run it as a systemd service.

Optionally, you can set up resilient-circuits as a systemd service to start automatically at system boot:

1. Open a terminal session, log in to IBM Resilient with SSH, and create a systemd service configuration file for resilient-circuits:

   vi /etc/systemd/system/resilient_circuits.service
   

2. Populate the empty file with the following details:

   Note

   The following service configuration file example assumes that:

   • You log in to IBM Resilient with the resadmin user.

   • The IBM Resilient app.config file is stored in the default location: /home/resadmin/.resilient

   • All examples feature mock values.

     Make sure paths and other values you set in the service

     configuration file are relevant to your environment.

   [Unit]
   Description=Resilient Circuits Service
   After=resilient.service
   Requires=resilient.service
   
   [Service]
   Type=simple
   User=resadmin
   WorkingDirectory=/home/resadmin
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/resilient-circuits run
   Restart=always
   TimeoutSec=10

   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

3. Assign read and write permissions to the resadmin user and the resadmin group, and read-only permission to other users and groups:

   sudo chmod 664 /etc/systemd/system/resilient_circuits.service
   

4. Enable the resilient-circuits service to automatically start at system boot:

   systemctl enable resilient_circuits
   

5. Reboot the system to start the service automatically.
