Quarkus Systemd Notify Extension

Introduction

This extension is used to notify Linux service manager (systemd) about start-up completion and other service status changes.

Usage

To use the extension, add the dependency to the target project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.quarkiverse.systemd.notify</groupId>
    <artifactId>quarkus-systemd-notify</artifactId>
    <version>${quarkus.systemd.notify.version}</version>
</dependency>

and configure the service unit file with the following minumum configurations:

...

[Service]
Type=notify
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_SYS_ADMIN

...

Systemd Service Example

Assuming quarkus-run.jar is located at /opt/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar:

• Create a unit configuration file at /etc/systemd/system/quarkus.service:

[Unit]
Description=Quarkus Server
After=network.target
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=notify
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_SYS_ADMIN
ExecStart=/bin/java -jar /opt/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar
SuccessExitStatus=0 143

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

• Enable the service (this will make it to run at system start-up as well):

sudo systemctl enable quarkus

• Start/Stop/Restart the service:

sudo systemctl start quarkus
sudo systemctl stop quarkus
sudo systemctl restart quarkus

• Check status of the service:

sudo systemctl status quarkus

systemd-notify with SELinux

If SELinux (Mostly for RedHat OS) is enabled:

root# getenforce
Enforcing

Add systemd_notify_t to the permissive types:

semanage permissive -a systemd_notify_t

You can check with:

semanage permissive -l
