Auto Stat Seafile with Systemd - CentOS 7

[John Ullom]

Howdy All,

  I have installed Seafile on CentOS 7. All works except for auto start.

  I can start Seafile Manually using this:

# su - seafile
$ cd seafile-server-latest/
$ ./seafile.sh start
$ ./seahub.sh start

Using Systemd directions from this page: http://manual.seafile.com/deploy/start_Seafile_at_system_bootup.html

Here are the two files I created.

[Unit]
Description=Seafile
# add mysql.service or postgresql.service depending on your database to the line below
After=network.target mysql.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=$/home/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seafile.sh start
ExecStop=$/home/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seafile.sh stop
RemainAfterExit=yes
User=seafile
Group=seafile


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And

[Unit]
Description=Seafile hub
After=network.target seafile.service
[Service]
# change start to start-fastcgi if you want to run fastcgi
ExecStart=$/home/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh start
ExecStop=$/home/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh stop
User=seafile
Group=seafile
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Update on my question.

I have cleaned up my two start up files by removing the dollar symbol. Now can start Seafile with 

systemctl start seafile

systemctl start seahub

I have run the enable command on both but it still doesn't auto start?

Any ideas?

[Shuai Lin]

Is there any error messages when systemd failed to start a service?

Or you can redirect the output of the start command to a file to ? Something like:

ExecStart=/home/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seafile.sh start > /tmp/seafile.init.log

When I rund systemctl I can see that both seafile and seahub failed to start. 

I can start each service by running /etc/serviced/service/seafile.service and /etc/serviced/service/seahub.service .

I assume that those two files are working.

I tried your suggestion but nothing happens. No log file is created

I have chomd +x both files.

thanks for responding.

OK, figure it out. Here are some change I suggest for your systemd/systemctl set up instructions.

1: chmod +x seafile.service and chmod +x seahub.service

2: systemctl enable seafile and systemctl enable seahub

And most important

3: You have a section in your tutorial where you say:

# add mysql.service or postgresql.service depending on your database to the.........

In Cent OS, I have Mysql but it is called mariadb. I do not know why. When I change the line to this:

After=network.target   mariadb.service

Success!!!!

Great product. Other than the autostart on boot, easy to set up and use.
