mangos zero Mangosd systemd service exiting

[Yutsa]

Hello again,

I tried to set up services for systemd to run the server. The unit for realmd works fine, however the one for mangosd exits after a few seconds.

It works perfectly fine if I start mangosd manually from the command line. I'm thinking it might be because mongosd is interactive, you get a shell to interact when using it. But I'm not sure that it's the problem

I'm linking a screenshot of the issue.

 

Here's my service code : 

[Unit]
Description=WoW Vanilla service
After=network.target mysql.service

[Service]
Type=simple
User=mangos
WorkingDirectory=/home/mangos/zero/zero_server/bin
ExecStart=/home/mangos/zero/zero_server/bin/mangosd -c /home/mangos/zero/zero_server/etc/mangosd.conf
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

As you see it looks like nothing wrong happened but the process just finished cleanly instead of staying alive.

However in the installation guide for Debian Jessie, it says it is supposed to work.

Any ideas ? I'll keep looking into it !

 

EDIT: I found a workaround ! I just set it to run in a separate tty and it works fine this way. Here's the service file :

[Unit]
Description=WoW Vanilla service
After=network.target mysql.service [email protected]

[Service]
Type=simple
User=mangos
StandardInput=tty
TTYPath=/dev/tty3
TTYReset=yes
TTYVHangup=yes
WorkingDirectory=/home/mangos/zero/zero_server/bin
ExecStart=/home/mangos/zero/zero_server/bin/mangosd -c /home/mangos/zero/zero_server/etc/mangosd.conf
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Maybe there's a better way to do it, I kind of hacked this together but it works at least.

Hello,

Indeed, I think that the interactive part is a problem to run it as a service too.

Thank you !

In the guide, I'm stating that it works but I did not test it..

Well I'm glad to have contributed then !

Everything is working fine, I tried using my external IP, I forwarded the port and everything but I can't connect with my public IP, surely because I'm on the same network.

But it's great it's working fine. Now I'll have to try and look on how I can try to contribute to this great project

I have found that adding the systemd auto-start leads to failure. It should work, but I was unable to reach success. 

 

In the end, I stopped realmd and mangosd, removed them as services, and deleted the configuration files I created.

 

I have not had any trouble starting realmd or mangosd manually. You can even make a script to 'manually' run them.
