Learner's question - how do I get the CLI to survive a reboot on Linux (maybe a systemd service file)?

[bouton]

Sorry - new to Linux and trying this out.

I have Martin up and running displaying all my tiles with maplibre. Lovely.

To keep it running in the background I run it with an ampersand at the end of the command
eg martin /path/etc &

But a reboot requires me to re-enter the command.

I have read up that maybe I can run it as a systemd service. Is this possible?

Do you have an example service file and/or some suggestions? Thanks

Deploying this as a systemd service is not quite the simplest solution imo (might be biased).
I would suggest looking into docker instead. Much simpler than the systemd docs.

If you still want to go via the systemd route, I would need a few additional pieces of information:

• what are your datasources (affects what startup is blocked by)
• if using the --auto-bounds parameter: what is the datasources size and is extent indexed (affects startup time)
• when do you need it to start up (affects what startup is blocked by; immediately after networking, or is your system constrained on resources and another service start first. martins resource usage is low => should not affect you much if at all)

Thanks. Will look into docker per your suggestion. Thanks

I remember a basic systemd support is added but not documented in the Martin book. If you are using Debian/Ubuntu you could get system d support by installing Martin with Martin.deb which can be downloaded in the release page.
