Production

The following set of instructions will show how to have RPC Nameserver application to automatically startup when the system boots using systemd.

1. While being logged in as pi run the following:

   $ sudo vi /etc/systemd/system/mikapod_nameserver.service
   

2. Copy and paste the following contents.

   [Unit]
   Description=Mikapod Nameserver Daemon
   After=multi-user.target
   
   [Service]
   Type=idle
   User=pi
   ExecStart=/home/pi/mikapod-soil-rpi/scripts/nameserver.sh
   Restart=on-failure
   KillSignal=SIGTERM
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target
   

3. We can now start the Gunicorn service we created and enable it so that it starts at boot:

   sudo systemctl start mikapod_nameserver
   sudo systemctl enable mikapod_nameserver
   

4. Confirm our service is running.

   systemctl status mikapod_nameserver.service
   

5. If the service is working correctly you should not see any errors. Congradulations, you have setup the name server which will tie in all the micro-services. In the next few sections we will see how to setup those individual micro-services.
