systemd Configs
You can run cobald
as a system service.
We provide systemd configs for multiple cobald
instances run as services.
You can manage several instances which are identified with a systemd instance name.
Create a file named cobald@.service
in the /usr/lib/systemd/system
directory.
An example of a systemd config file:
[Unit]
Description=COBalD - the Opportunistic Balancing Daemon for %I
Documentation=https://cobald.readthedocs.io
After=network.target
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
[Install]
RequiredBy=multi-user.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 -m cobald.daemon /etc/cobald/%i.py
In this example, the configs for the different COBalD instances are located at /etc/cobald/instance-name.py
.
cobald
can handle .py
and .yaml
configuration files.
Please ensure that the chosen python interpreter has cobald
installed!
We recommend to use a virtualenv
.
By using a virtualenv
you have to set the ExecStart
to ExecStart={{ virtualenv }}/bin/python -m cobald.daemon /etc/cobald/%i.yaml
.
After you created or changed the file you need to run:
$ systemctl daemon-reload
Now you can manage the cobald
instance which loads the /etc/cobald/instance-name.py
config file.
