* fix: systemd unit should block on startup until http endpoint is ready
* fix: systemd-start script should be executable by group and others
* chore: update changelog
From the systemd.service docs:
Use "${FOO}" as part of a word, or as a word of its own, on the command
line, in which case it will be replaced by the value of the environment
variable including all whitespace it contains, resulting in a single
argument. Use "$FOO" as a separate word on the command line, in which
case it will be replaced by the value of the environment variable split
at whitespace, resulting in zero or more arguments.
* Removes sysvinit-tools as an RPM package dependency.
* Update init script to not rely on sysvinit utils for backwards
compatibility.
* Minor overall improvements to init script (improved error messages,
comments, check for root privileges).
* Adds SLES support to post-installation script.
Let systemd handle the output so the journal can be used. This also
let's the user configure if the journal stores the output of this
service to a file instead of setting the location.
Fixes#6824.
currently we use /etc/lsb-release to detect debian,
but this file is only present on ubuntu.
/etc/debian_version is installed by default by debian and ubuntu
- Re-enabling support for ARM builds in `build.py`.
- Improved `build.py`'s iteration and package version.
- Fixed minor bug with logrotate file path in `build.py`.
- Improved installation pre and post install/uninstall scripts by adding distribution-specific logic to account for quirks between the different package managers.
- Added post-install as post-trans script for RPM builds due to the order of RPM upgrade commands (issue where init scripts were removed when upgrading).
- Added explicit backup to pre-install script to ensure legacy configuration survive an upgrade.
New package filesystem hierarchy:
- /var/lib/influxdb => Data directories
- /usr/lib/influxdb => Scripts and other miscellaneous files
- /etc/influxdb => Configuration
- /usr/bin/ => Where InfluxDB binaries will live
resolves "/var/run/influxdb/influxd.pid not writable, check permissions [ FAILED ]"
error on service restart when influxdb user shell is set to /bin/false
Unless a valid shell for the user running influxdb, the command su fails with
the error:
This account is currently not available.
The user shouldn't have a valid shell although the package creates influxdb
user with /bin/bash
The added influxdb.service is the direct functional equivalent of
the init.sh script where appropriate, some features are missing
like redirecting stdout/stderr to files, but that can be done by
the syslog daemon a layer up anyway.
For aditional support influxdb should support Type=notify for
notifying systemd about when it has finished starting up, and for
watchdog functionality.
