 Posted: Wed Mar 27, 2019 6:22 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Custom OpenRC script not starting at boot |
 |
|
Hello,
I wrote a custom OpenRC script to start a docker container. I saw others using systemd scripts for it and thought it might be possible to do the same with OpenRC as i don't want to install systemd. The script is running perfectly when started or stopped manually. But when set to start at boot time (in default runlevel, not boot) it does not work. It never starts automatically.
It's my first OpenRC script and i might have missed something:
| Code: | #!/sbin/openrc-run
INSTANCE_NAME="${SVCNAME#*.}"
description="Portainer Stack Manager"
depend() {
need docker net
}
checkconfig() {
if ! grep -q "docker-compose" /var/lib/portage/world; then
eerror "Docker Compose needs to be installed"
exit 1
fi
}
start() {
checkconfig || return 1
ebegin "Starting ${SVCNAME}"
docker-stack-start portainer
eend $?
}
stop() {
if [ "${RC_CMD}" = "restart" ]
then
checkconfig || return 1
fi
ebegin "Stopping ${SVCNAME}"
docker-stack-stop portainer
eend $?
}
|
The part with docker-stack-start portainer or docker-stack-stop portainer is just a simple Bash script that starts or stops certain predefined Docker Stacks using Docker-Compose by putting a dynamically modified docker-compose.yml file into a certain directory and starting it. This is 100% working as i am able to run /etc/init.d/portainer start without any issues.
I don't see any kind of error messages in rc.log or any other output.
Can anyone help me?

On a quick glance, checkconfig has no return but exits?! better return not exit. And you better have full path to script best put in /usr/local/bin. Here is a basic sample of my selfmade openrc init script with start-stop-daemon and handle sigterm/hup/int and ignore sigpipe in daemonized script:
| /etc/conf.d/wamp_server: | # /etc/conf.d/wamp_server
wamp_server_user="nobody"
wamp_server_group="nobody"
# Options to pass to daemon at startup/stop
wamp_server_opts="" |
| /etc/init.d/wamp_server: | #!/sbin/openrc-run
description="wamp server"
depend() {
need mysql
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting ${description}"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background \
--user ${wamp_server_user:-nobody} \
--group ${wamp_server_group:-nobody} \
--exec /usr/local/bin/wamp_server \
--pidfile /var/run/wamp_server.pid \
--make-pidfile \
-- ${wamp_server_opts}
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping ${description}"
start-stop-daemon --stop \
--exec /usr/local/bin/wamp_server \
--pidfile /var/run/wamp_server.pid \
--retry SIGTERM/5
eend $?

Does this string need to be in this file for your program to work? Is it possible that docker-compose could be installed and functional without being mentioned in this file? | geki wrote: | | On a quick glance, checkconfig has no return but exits?! better return not exit. |
It looks odd, but falling off the end will return success in this case. |

I've just changed checkconfig() and added proper return statements.
| Code: | checkconfig() {
if ! grep -q "docker-compose" /var/lib/portage/world; then |
This is basically just to protect the entire thing from myself. Docker Compose is needed to run this as it will just fail with errors within the called bash script. I am planning to use this script for every machine i am running with Docker and Portainer.
Is it really required to use start-stop-daemon? I've tried it but it does not create a PID file and fails when trying to stop it because of the missing PID file. What is the difference (code wise) between running it manually and on startup? It works just fine manually.
Thanks for your help! |

Yes but if someone put docker-compose in a sets the package will not be present in /var/lib/portage/world. Maybe is better check if /usr/bin/docker-compose file exists

That might be true. I am not planning to release this script. It is basically for me starting containers with OpenRC instead of using SystemD. I know there are a few ways of doing this with Docker alone but i've found that to be unstable at times as well. I thought a start up script might do the trick. Especially on larger stacks. But it does not seem to be as easy as i thought.
So far i am still puzzled why it does work as expected when used with /etc/ini.d/portainer start but does not when starting up the system. |

| I've figured it out. The issue seems i was using a symlink for the file instead of having it in the directory. It works now. Thanks allot for everyone who helped me. |
