Bug 605302 – net-im/coturn: install systemd unit file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Jones 2017-01-10 19:58:31 UTC]

Please install a systemd unit file for net-im/coturn.

An example unit file is as follows:

[Unit]
Description=turnserver daemon
After=networking.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/turnserver
Restart=always
RestartSec=30s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target





install in the ebuild like such:
systemd_dounit "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}.service

I added a unit file now, but it got a bit more complex than the example above because of logging and logrotate....
Thanks

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, why use 

ExecStartPre=/bin/bash -c "[ -d /var/run/turnserver ] || mkdir /var/run/turnserver && chown turnserver:turnserver /var/run/turnserver"

Instead of systemd's tmpfilesd system?

I simply wasn't aware of it and after using ExecStartPre for the logfile I thought it's straight forward.... 
I will keep it in mind for the next bump, thanks for pointing that out!
