Created attachment 376264 [details] systemd Unit File for CouchDB It would be nice if we could get systemd support for CouchDB. I'm using the attached unit and tmpfile, which works perfectly for me.
Created attachment 376266 [details] systemd tmpfile for CouchDB
please add this to the ebuild. Works for me.
Running as "simple" instead of "forking" is preferred: [Unit] Description=CouchDB Server After=network.target [Service] User=couchdb PermissionsStartOnly=true ExecStart=/usr/bin/couchdb -o /dev/null -e /dev/null ExecStop=/usr/bin/couchdb -d [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target But it doesn't look to work due permissions problems: # systemctl status couchdb ● couchdb.service - CouchDB Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib64/systemd/system/couchdb.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since mar 2014-07-01 19:24:38 CEST; 3s ago Process: 10086 ExecStop=/usr/bin/couchdb -d (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 10060 ExecStart=/usr/bin/couchdb -o /dev/null -e /dev/null (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 10060 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) jul 01 19:24:37 belkin5 couchdb[10060]: =ERROR REPORT==== 1-Jul-2014::21:24:37 === jul 01 19:24:37 belkin5 couchdb[10060]: File operation error: eacces.

Please provide information on how to adapt the ebuild for this.
We need to know if the unit works (due to that permission problems that I suffered when tried to handle this... but maybe there were because I need to do some other configuration related with how couchdb works) The problem is that we try to start it as user couchdb and, then, it fails to create /var/log/couchdb/couch.log
