Tune Karaf Service Wrapper Conf for Windows #467

Open AngelosF opened 7 years ago

AngelosF commented 7 years ago

Hi All,

TL;DR: wrapper:install produces an incomplete wrapper.conf that needs major changes for the Windows OH2 service to work

Issue: Since bin\setenv.bat (which calls also oh2_dir_layout.bat) on Windows is NOT used by the Apache Karaf Service Wrapper" (source: Link), we need to find a way to "fix" the default wrapper.conf file that is being generated by the wrapper:install command.

One way would be to include in the distro a script that runs all the necessary commands to install the Windows service.

It would have to:

feature:install service-wrapper (needed?)
wrapper:install --name "openHAB2" --display "openHAB2" --description "openHAB 2 Service" (this generates the "problematic" `%APP_ETC%\%APP_NAME%-wrapper.conf`
Overwrite the generated wrapper.conf with the distributed one (we need to find a way to let user adjust `OPENHAB_HOME`
openHAB2-service.bat install
net start "openHAB2"

What solutions can be applied here?

Why not providing a openhab:wrapper-install command that internally uses the wrapper:install command with the correct arguments and modifies the wrapper configuration itself?

That's a great idea! I don't even know if this is possible within Karaf (a new console command?) I am not that advanced :)
