Server Startup Setup

This is a sample setup to run the services using Systemd.

It involves:

1. Creating a service file (.service) in /etc/systemd/system/
2. Enabling it

Master Server

1. Create the service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/seaweedmaster.service

2. Insert the following text

[Unit]
Description=SeaweedFS Server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/weed master -ip=192.168.1.31
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/bin
SyslogIdentifier=seaweedfs-master

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

3. Start it and enable it

systemctl start seaweedmaster.service
systemctl enable seaweedmaster.service

Volume Server

1. Create the service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/seaweedvolume.service

2. Insert the following text

[Unit]
Description=SeaweedFS Volume
After=network.target media-jmn-LENOVO.mount

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/weed volume -dir="/media/jmn/HDD/SeaweedFS"
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/bin/
SyslogIdentifier=seaweedfs-volume

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

• Please, notice how I'm introducing a delay here for the mount to become available. Replace -dir= by your own directory for the Volume Server.:
• Also, please notice that I'm using "After" for the .mount file related with the directory I want the Volume Server to use. This won't be necessary if your data directory doesn't need to be mounted.

3. Start it and enable it

systemctl start seaweedvolume.service
systemctl enable seaweedvolume.service

Filer

1. Create the service file:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/seaweedfiler.service

2. Insert the following text

[Unit]
Description=SeaweedFS Filer
After=network.target media-jmn-LENOVO.mount

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30

ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/weed filer
WorkingDirectory=/media/jmn/HDD/
SyslogIdentifier=seaweedfs-filer

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

• Please, notice how I'm introducing a delay here for the mounted partition to become available.
• Also, please notice that I'm using "After" for the .mount file related with the directory I want the Filer to use. This won't be necessary if your data directory doesn't need to be mounted.
• Keep in mind that I'm setting the WorkingDirectory to a directory in my HDD and that has a filer.toml inside it with my desired configuration.

3. Start it and enabled it

systemctl start seaweedfiler.service
systemctl enable seaweedfiler.service
