Automatically Starting TigerGraph on a Linux machine after reboot

TigerGraph DB
#1

How do you configure TigerGraph to automatically start after reboot.

Right now, I am having to manually execute

su tigergraph

and then …

gadmin start all

Is there a better way to do this? If a machine does crash wouldn’t most customers want TigerGraph to automatically restart?

@anthony.gatlin If you are not using Docker, you’ll need a systemd startup script:

It’s not delivered at the time of installation.

If you would use Docker, then in some versions autostart is included.

Best,

Since TigerGraph requires a user to run su tigergraph and, I assume, access the user’s bash profile so it can find gadmin, how would a person pass this informaton to a systemd service file, or would that even be necessary?

What I am asking is how I could make sure that the systemd service file could run gadmin start all and do it under the proper context.

I will use a file that @Szilard_Barany did a while ago:

[Unit]
Description="TigerGraph 3.0 server"
Documentation=https://docs-beta.tigergraph.com/v/3.0/
Requires=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
RemainAfterExit=yes
User=tigergraph
LimitNOFILE=100000
ExecStart=/home/tigergraph/tigergraph/app/cmd/gadmin start all
ExecStop=/home/tigergraph/tigergraph/app/cmd/gadmin stop all -y
Restart=on-abnormal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

That looks beautiful, Bruno. I will try that (with edits, of course.) Thank you so very much for sharing!

Can you please build this into your installation script? Being able to start all services after reboot automatically is a MUST for a server-class software (mysql, postgresql, etc).
