Demonizing backend.py and honeypot.py

[odolezal]

Hello.
Has anyone have experience with demonizing Python scripts "backend.py" and "honeypot.py"? Longterm runnning telnet-iot-honeypot in "screen" is not right way, and after some time scripts result in errors.

Thanks for replyes.

The crash after some time has (probably) to do with database problems i wasn't able to figure out. From my experience, honeypot.py is stable, but backend.py tends to not be able to write to the database after some time because of database connection/commit issues. You can experiment with different database drivers (mysql / sqlite) and settings (pool_size/max_overflow in backend/db.py or max_db_conn in config) but this didn't help for me. Obviously, fixing the bug would be best, but i have no free time to figure that out and it seems to be not easily reproduceable either :/

Maybe restarting the backend automatically each day/hour/whatever is enough, the honeypot should retry uploading the connection at least once if the backend is unavailable for some time.
