# Service Overview

`service` is the default `BaguetteOS` service manaager.
It can:
- start, stop and request the status of a service, <u>and its dependencies</u>
- remember the PID of a service
- configure a service based on OS-provided templates
  - ports are auto-configured (unless specified)
  - passwords are generated at service start-up
  - system users and groups are created for each service
  - databases are created, configured with generated users and passwords
- back-up the service data


## Current development

`service` lacks simple scripts for managing databases, has no backup integration and needs more templates.

### TODO: logging

Currently, logging is simply a pair of files created in `/var/log` for each service.

The naming convention is:

```zsh
/var/log/$servicename.$environment.{err,log}
```

### TODO: databases

Currently, there is only support for `postgresql`.


### TODO: backup

There is currently on back-up system.
A simple `backup` tool should be developed, allowing users to provide back-up endpoints.

Here is a quick overview of what we have in mind:

```zsh
# backup add ssh:example.com:/srv/backup
```

### TODO: templates

Templates should be added for these services:
- php-fpm
- certificates
- hackmd
- prosody
- wordpress

... and a lot more!
