Service Integration

Support for running as a system service as part of the reseed package is new. PR’s that improve integration are welcome.

Systemd Service

A systemd service is provided which should work with the I2P Debian package when reseed-tools is installed in /usr/bin/reseed-tools . If you install with make install this service is also installed. This service will cause the bundles to regenerate every 12 hours.

The contact email for your reseed should be added in: /etc/systemd/system/reseed.service.d/override.conf .

Self-signed certificates will be auto-generated for these services. To change this you should edit the /etc/systemd/system/reseed.service . For instance:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/reseed-tools reseed --yes=true --netdb=/var/lib/i2p/i2p-config/netDb --trustProxy --ip=127.0.0.1

to disable self-signed certificate generation.

• To enable starting the reseed service automatically with the system: sudo systemctl enable reseed.service
• To run the service manually: sudo sysctl start reseed.service
  
• To reload the systemd services: sudo systemctl daemon-reload
• To view the status/logs: sudo journalctl -u reseed.service

SysV Service

An initscript is also provided. The initscript, unlike the systemd service, cannot schedule itself to restart. You should restart the service roughly once a day to ensure that the information does not expire.

The contact email for your reseed should be added in: /etc/init.d/reseed .

Self-signed certificates will be auto-generated for these services. To change this you should edit the /etc/default/reseed . Create a MORE_OPTIONS="" field. For instance:

MORE_OPTIONS="--trustProxy --ip=127.0.0.1"

will disable self-signed certificate generation.
