Systemd service

To run Foxy-GH-Farmer as a systemd service, a template foxy-gh-farmer.service file is provided in the root of the repo.

1. Copy the template foxy-gh-farmer.service into /etc/systemd/system/foxy-gh-farmer.service
2. Modify the User and Group to your user/group.

3. Modify the path to the foxy-gh-farmer binary as well as the path to the foxy-gh-farmer.yaml to fit your paths.

   Note

   When running from source the binary path is in venv/bin/, so for example /home/user/foxy-gh-farmer/venv/bin/foxy-gh-farmer.

4. Reload the daemon to detect your new service:

   sudo systemctl daemon-reload
   

5. Enable the service to start on boot:

   sudo systemctl enable foxy-gh-farmer.service
   

6. Start the service:

   sudo service foxy-gh-farmer start
   

Using¶

• The status of the service can be seen via:

  sudo service foxy-gh-farmer status
  

• You can stop the service via:

  sudo service foxy-gh-farmer stop
  

• You can tail the logs of the service via:

  sudo journalctl -u foxy-gh-farmer.service --follow
