How to set Wildfly server as service in Raspbian

[zebrone]

Hi everyone,
I was looking how to set as service a Wildfly server installation in the Raspberry PI with the latest version of Raspbian.
I've tried to use this https://gist.github.com/sukharevd/6087988, but if I try to start the service no messages are sent back. The command line I use is this one:

Code: Select all

sudo service wildfly start

When I execute this, no messages are sent back. How Can I fix this problem? I want to set as service the Wildfly service.

P.S. If execute sudo bash standalone.sh the server starts correctly.

Do you mean that you get no messages when you issue the command?
That's normal on Jessie / Systemd.

To see if it's running use e.g.

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl status wildfly

Thank you for your reply. You're almost right! The service is loaded correctly, here is the output:

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:/opt/wildfly/bin# sudo systemctl status wildfly
● wildfly.service - The WildFly Application Server
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/wildfly.service; disabled)
   Active: active (running) since Mon 2016-05-22 16:39:20 UTC; 5s ago

The only problem is that if I try to execute sudo service wildfly reload, I got this error:

Code: Select all

wildfly: unrecognized service

Is this normal?

The service is disabled; AFAIK this just means it will not autostart on boot.
It seems to be running though.

I think it's best to start using the systemd version of the service commands. See e.g. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... -and-units
To enable:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable wildfly

Restart

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl restart wildfly

You can use either 'wildfly' or 'wildfly.service'

Thank you for your reply. I've tried to upload a war on the Wildfly server but it seems it doesn't work correctly. I mean the was is deployed correctly, but if I try to connect to the endpoint with Websocket implementation, nothing happen. I don't know why, the port is now 28080 for http, so I've also changed it. Have you got any idea about this problem?

Hi,
I got the following problem, with Wildly 9.0.2.Final. The bash standalone.sh command works correctly, but the service doesn't:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl status wildfly -l
● wildfly.service - The WildFly Application Server

How Can I Fix it?

Apparently the directory and / or file does not exist.
Check first if the directory exists. Could it be in a different location?
