Xen Orchestrta as systemd service

Alexander 0

Could you please add a way to run xen orchestra as service via systemd in xen orchestra manual?
For example I'm using script like this:

root@xoa-test:~# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/xo-server.service

[Unit]
Description= XO Server
After=network-online.target

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-server/
ExecStart=/usr/bin/yarn start
Restart=always
SyslogIdentifier=xo-server

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Hi,

The way you run Xen Orchestra with a service inside your VM is entirely up to you You can use forever, systemd or whatever you like. It's not related to XO itself but the way you use it!

@olivierlambert I think using just systemd is more straightforward then forever via systemd.

Again, it's up to you

We provide a template inside our repo for those who want to use it: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/blob/8921d7861026a11a2e7007d8451489eee508bdf7/packages/xo-server/xo-server.service

@olivierlambert it is pretty outdated
And this is only proposition to add such option to docs.
