service(1) # NAME service - system services control and querying interface # SYNOPSIS *service* add [options] *service* start *service* stop *service* status [-v] [service [service [...]] *service* reload *service* del *service* show # DESCRIPTION *service* is a tool that starts, stops, lists, queries, creates or removes system services. *service* abstracts their configuration and handles their dependencies to one another. Some general concepts about Baguette’ services management and boot procedure can be found in *service*(7). # USAGE ## Identifying Services service show service status [-v|--verbose] [id [id [...]]] Service ids are the name of a service, that may be prefixed by the name of their environment and a slash ('/'). *service show* shows all of a service’s relationship to other services as well as its full configuration as handled by `service`. *service status* shows the status of one or multiple services, including whether they are currently running or not. If no parameter is provided to the `status` command, it will show the status of all services. If the `--verbose` flag is provided, informations about what tokens a service produces or consumes, as well as the ports it reserves, will be displayed as well. ## Starting Services service start When *service* starts services, it also starts their dependencies. If a service is depended on by a non-runnable service, the non-runnable services will have their configuration and deployable files generated once its last dependency is started. An example for this is a static website that depends on a web server: if the web server is started, the static website’s files and possible configuration will be generated or installed where they will be served. To force a service the use of a particular provider, the syntax token_id=service_id can be used. If providers are guessed, those from the same environment as the service to be created are used first, if any. Services from the *root* environment are tried next. To force *not* using a token, the token_id=none syntax can be used. The type=service_type syntax can be used to specify what kind of service is to be created if its name does not match a known service definition. The domain=example.tld syntax can be used to specify domain names when creating services that require one. ## Stopping Services service stop ## Adding Services service add [options] The *service add* command can be used to create a service. Only services that have been “added” to the list of known services can be started. It takes as first parameter the *id* of the service to create. The service type defaults to the name of the service to be created. ## Removing Services service del [options] The *service del* command removes a service from the system. Be careful, as this command also removes its configuration and data. *service del* will not let you remove services that are being depended on unless you provide a `--force` flag. *service del* will stop services before removing them. # EXAMPLES ## Starting a Service service start gitea ## Registering a Single Service service add postgresql service start postgresql ## Registering Multiple Services with Dependencies service add nginx service add postgresql service add gitea http=nginx postgresql=postgresql domain=gitea.test In this example, the dependencies of the “gitea” service could have been guessed automatically. The following example does the exact same thing but lets *service* guess dependencies. service add nginx service add postgresql service add gitea domain=gitea.test # SEE ALSO *service*(7) # AUTHORS Luka Vandervelden
