Registering Management Console as daemon on Linux

Registering MC as daemon allows an administrator to control MC using systemctl command as well as allows to load MC automatically when Linux starts. Please follow instructions below to register MC as a daemon:

- ensure your Management Console is installed in /opt/resilio-connect-server folder

- create a file /lib/systemd/system/resilio-connect-server.service

- place the following content in the file (alternatively you can download file here and simply copy it to /lib/systemd/system/:

[Unit]
Description=Resilio Connect Management Console service

After=network-online.target

[Service]

PIDFile=/opt/resilio-connect-server/var/data/server.pid
Environment="SIT_APPDATA=/opt/resilio-connect-server/var/data"
Environment="SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug"

ExecStop=/opt/resilio-connect-server/srvctrl stop

or simply do

curl -s https://internal.resilio.com/support/systemctl/resilio-connect-server.service | sudo tee /lib/systemd/system/resilio-connect-server.service

- run the command to force systemctl reload list of daemons:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

-  to enable Resilio Console service run at boot (use command disable if it's no longer needed):  

sudo systemctl enable resilio-connect-server

-  to launch or stop Resilio Console service in runtime use commands 'start' or 'stop' 

sudo systemctl start resilio-connect-server

root user

Please pay attention to the User and Group values. They set to root by default for easier permissions management. Although it is highly recommended to replace these values with other user and group without excessive permissions.
