Auto Install Script

[pi0]

I created an easy install script for convoy. it would save a lot of time deploying and installing convoy on multi hosts...

Source Code

Usage:

curl -#L https://git.io/convoy | sudo bash

Example output:

root@Ni8CAC2:/|>  curl -#L https://git.io/convoy | sudo bash

Installing convoy service...
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/convoy.service to /etc/systemd/system/convoy.service.
Convoy is installed!
run 'convoy daemon' with approtiate options then run 'systemctl start convoy'

Thanks for the script!

Though it's hard to included it in the official convoy doc, because it's very hard to be a good universal solution.

For example, it's assuming everyone is using systemd, which can be broken for quite some people.

We're working towards a docker container approach which we think is more universal applicable. I can redirect people to here if they're asking for auto start script though. :)

run 'convoy daemon' with approtiate options then run 'systemctl start convoy'

what's this line mean?

[pi0]

@juglans To be honest this was for months ago so i forgot things 😂 But it appears that some initial configuration was needed or if i am wrong just tell me to remove that line and simply starting daemon

[juglans]

add something to end of ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/convoy daemon? maybe like this,

...
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/convoy daemon --drivers vfs --driver-opts vfs.path=/mnt
...

3q also

@juglans Just added VFS_PATH param. what's your idea migrating that script from gists to this repo?

[juglans]

I just want to run this Unit in my Docker swarm nodes...:)

[pi0]

Ok :))
