How to run correctly Ixian-DLT as linux service?
nivanko opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello!
Currently, I ran Ixian-DLT in the foreground, using screen utility, but I want to run it as service. There are two helpers to do this: mono-service, and mono-service2. Manpage for them says "Use mono-service to run services that use the 1.0 assemblies and use mono-service2 to run services that use the 2.0 assemblies."
So which one can I use?
Hi!
Right at the moment I can't say we support running as a service (it's on our internal ToDo for one of the future releases, along with an option to run Ixian in a Docker container).
The main problem, I think, would be the way Ixian executable uses the console, but I'll look into adding a switch to suppress all console output.
I hven't yet played around with 'mono-service' or 'mono-service2', but I will look into them and how they might be used and what are the prerequisites to make Ixian work as that.
Unfortunately, I can't really promise any schedule for this...
Hi!
AFAIK, for latest Mono release (stable), 'mono-service' and 'mono-service2' are the same, so you may not waste your time comparing them.
Hi!
Currently the only way to run Ixian DLT in the background is by using screen, tmux or similar software.
