Support runit (Void Linux) service manager #59

Closed mrexox closed 10 months ago

mrexox commented 10 months ago

PIA does not install on Void Linux. I think the Void Linux community is not as big as Arch for example, but it worth adding the support for runit.

Describe the solution you'd like Add support for runit (service manager in Void Linux), so PIA could be installed on Void Linux.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using OpenVPN configs is OK but it's not as convenient as using PIA client.

Thanks we'll look into it! Also we're open to accepting PRs on this if you'd like to give it a shot!

Hey! I'll be glad to create a PR but I cant correctly clone the repo because of this issue: https://github.com/pia-foss/desktop/issues/46.

By the way, I've got a workaround:

Run bash pia-linux-<version>-<revision>.run -- --skip-service
Create a file /etc/sv/piavpn/run
```
#!/bin/sh
```

exec /opt/piavpn/bin/pia-daemon


3. `chmod +x /etc/sv/piavpn/run`
4. `ln -s /etc/sv/piavpn /var/service`

Seems to be easy to add suport for runit into installer. Please, help to figure out how to solve #46 :pray:
