systemd

Below is an example of a systemd service file for Ghi. If you are running Ghi on your own server, this allows you to manage the Ghi process with systemd. This example will start Ghi with it listening on port 8080 and write its logs to systemd's journal logging system (accessible by systemctl status ghi for the last output and journalctl -u ghi for the log in full).

You can then start and stop it like so:

$ systemctl start ghi
$ systemctl stop ghi

Location:

/var/lib/systemd/system/ghi.service

Content:

[Unit]
Description=GitHub IRC Notification Service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=ubuntu
WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/ghi
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/ghi
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "PYTHONPATH="/home/ubuntu/ghi/ghi:$PYTHONPATH" python3 /home/ubuntu/ghi/ghi/server.py --port 8080 --systemd
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=3

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If you want you can redirect the log-output to the /var/log/ghi.log file by substituting --systemd with &>> /var/log/ghi.log. In that case you might need to create the log file first because the user might not have permissions to /var/log

With this Service file, you can also set your environment variables in the /etc/default/ghi file and they will be automatically exported on start.
