Run liquidsoap as daemon!
This script configures your system to run your liquidsoap script, automatically and in the background. It currently supports the following init systems:
Systemd(modern Linux; Debian 8 or later, Ubuntu 15.04 or later, recent versions of Fedora, Arch Linux, etc)Initd(older Linux; Debian before 8, Ubuntu before 15.04)Launchd(MacOS)
- Setup a system user with
sudoaccess. - Run
daemonize-liquidsoap.sh <script-name>with the same user.
<script name> can be one of:
namewhen~/liquidsoap-daemon/script/name.liqexistsname.liqwhen~/liquidsoap-daemon/script/name.liqexists- A full path to an existing script file.
It is recommended to place your script files in ~/liquidsoap-daemon/script/.
That's it, the daemon files are installed!
By default, the script installs a Systemd service. If you want to install files for another system, you can do:
init_type=<init system> ./daemonize-liquidsoap.sh <script-name>
Valid modes are currently: systemd (default), initd, launchd.
Optionally you can change the default base_dir location:
base_dir=</your/full/path> ./daemonize-liquidsoap.sh <script-name>
Once you have installed the daemonization scripts, you need to start the daemon as follows:
Systemd:sudo systemctl start <script-name>-liquidsoapInitd:sudo /etc/init.d/<script-name>-liquidsoap-daemon startLaunchd:launchctl load ${HOME}/Library/LaunchAgents/<script-name>.liquidsoap.daemon.plist
You can also stop the daemon and remove the files installed by the script by running:
mode=remove [init_type=<init system>] ./daemonize-liquidsoap.sh <script-name>
To run this script, you will need the sudo command. On Debian and Ubuntu, run:
apt install sudo
And configure as needed.
To install the initd scripts on older Debian systems (before 8), you will need the update-rc.d command. On Debian, run:
apt-get install init-system-helpers
