So I had to write one from scratch. To create one of your own follow these steps:
- switch to root using
sudo su
or use sudo for all the following steps.
- create a service script (in this example the name of the service is Mongodb)
nano /lib/systemd/system/mongodb.service
- File content should be
[Unit] Description=MongoDB Database Service Wants=network.target After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID Restart=always User=mongodb Group=mongodb StandardOutput=syslog StandardError=syslog [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
You can also download the file from here: mongodb.service
Here is a quick description of the important fields:
ExecStart - Is the command to run. Mongo installs itself under /usr/bin and the configuration file is written at /etc
User - The uid of the mongod process.
Group - The gid of the mongod process. Note that the user and group are created by the installation.
Now to start mongodb:
sudo systemctl start mongodb
To stop mongodb service use:
sudo systemctl stop mongodb
To enable mongodb on startup
sudo systemctl enable mongodb.service
If you need to refresh the services use:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
