将Spring Boot Web应用程序作为服务部署到Ubuntu

Question

I have a Spring Boot app that I want to start using System V Init . My jar file is in /var/my-app/my-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar . So, I created a symbolic link using the command below

sudo ln -s /var/my-app/my-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar /etc/init.d/my-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT

without any issue. However, when I try

sudo service my-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT start

I get the error:

/etc/init.d/my-app-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: 1: /etc/init.d/myapp-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Answer 1

What does a symbolic link have to do with the service? Nothing :)

You will first have to define the Upstart script (in case of Ubuntu 14.04 ), it is in /etc/init/ and ending in .conf. ( http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ )

# <service name>.conf
start on filesystem
exec /usr/bin/java -jar /path_to/program

in case of Ubuntu 16.06+ (you can find nice article here )

sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/my-webapp.service

Then you can run it as:

sudo service <your service name> start

Hope that helps.
