Work as systemctl go2rtc.service

[Sheredeka]

Hi all!

how to run binary go2rtc_linux_amd64 as system service?

im try:

[Unit]
Description=AlexxIT go2rtc
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/opt/go2rtc/go2rtc.pid
ExecStart=/opt/go2rtc/go2rtc_linux_amd64 -config /opt/go2rtc/go2rtc.yaml
TimeoutStopSec=5
KillMode=mixed

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

but service works until the first error message "WRN github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc/internal/rtsp/rtsp.go:225 > error="read tcp 192.168.19.149:8554->192.168.19.72:58590: i/o timeout"" then stop with error

How to config service for correct start/restart/stop ?

Isn't systemd responsible to restart it when it fails?

• BTW, related to Add support for daemonization #440.

Also, if I were you I would definitely run it as a docker container (so that docker manages the service).

[AlexxIT]

I don't know. Prefer to run all software in the Docker. Your error not related with this issue.

It's not about an error, it's about the ability to launch go2rtc as a service (daemon) in the background, which will restart automatically if stopped.
systemctl go2rtc start
systemctl go2rtc restart
systemctl go2rtc stop

[AlexxIT]

Well. I can't help you with this. Ask on some Linux forum

[jneilliii]

under service section can't you just add

Restart=always
RestartSec=10

might find additional hints here
