Create systemd service for Resilient Circuits

Creating a systemd service file to make Resilient Circuits runs automatically.

Create systemd service for Resilient Circuits

1. Create a file called resilient-circuits.service as root user at /etc/systemd/system path.

    touch /etc/systemd/system/resilient-circuits.service

2. Add the following content and adjust the obvious values to match your environment:

    [Unit]
    Description=IBM Resilient-Circuits Service
    After=network.target
   
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=resilient
    WorkingDirectory=/home/resilient
    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/resilient-circuits run
    Restart=always
    TimeoutSec=10
    Environment=APP_CONFIG_FILE=/home/resilient/.resilient/app.config
    Environment=APP_LOCK_FILE=/home/resilient/.resilient/resilient_circuits_lockfile
   
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

   If you run Resilient Circuits on Resilient appliance, you must add the following to options to the [Unit] section:

    After=resilient.service
    Requires=resilient.service

   For example:

    [Unit]
    Description=IBM Resilient-Circuits Service
    After=resilient.service
    Requires=resilient.service
   
    [Service]
    Type=simple
    User=resilient
    WorkingDirectory=/home/resilient
    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/resilient-circuits run
    Restart=always
    TimeoutSec=10
    Environment=APP_CONFIG_FILE=/home/resilient/.resilient/app.config
    Environment=APP_LOCK_FILE=/home/resilient/.resilient/resilient_circuits_lockfile
   
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Save the file.

4. Enable the service:

    systemctl enable resilient-circuits.service

5. Start the service:

    systemctl start resilient-circuits.service

6. Check service status:

    systemctl status resilient-circuits.service
