SME Server Templates for Syncthing
« on: June 19, 2015, 02:48:18 PM »
Hi !
This topic is the following part for the RPM creation for Syncthing :
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php/topic,51700.0.html

So, I read some documentations about templates and SMEServer personalization but I don't really understand the thing...

Docs :
- http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8831
- http://distro.ibiblio.org/smeserver/contribs/gordonr/devguide/html/c1115.htm
- http://wiki.contribs.org/Template_Tutorial/fr

The aim is to make syncthing's config.xml install in /etc/syncthing/
So if I understand well, I have to create templates to personalize it ?
Or/And modify syncthing script (the one bellow) to set where the config.xml must be searched ?

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: Syncthing
# Required-Start: $local_fs $network $named $time $syslog
# Required-Stop: $local_fs $network $named $time $syslog
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Description: Syncthing to sync folders
### END INIT INFO

SCRIPT=/home/syncthing/bin/syncthing
RUNAS=syncthing
NAME=syncthing

PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid
LOGFILE=/home/syncthing/log/$NAME.log

start() {
 if [ -f $PIDFILE ] && kill -0 $(cat $PIDFILE); then
echo 'Service already running' >&2
   return 1
fi
echo 'Starting serviceā€¦' >&2
local CMD="$SCRIPT &> \"$LOGFILE\" & echo \$!"
su -c "$CMD" $RUNAS > "$PIDFILE"
echo 'Service started' >&2
}

stop() {
if [ ! -f "$PIDFILE" ] || ! kill -0 $(cat "$PIDFILE"); then
echo 'Service not running' >&2
  return 1
fi
echo 'Stopping serviceā€¦' >&2
kill -15 $(cat "$PIDFILE") && rm -f "$PIDFILE"
echo 'Service stopped' >&2
}

uninstall() {
echo -n "Are you really sure you want to uninstall this service? That cannot be undone. [yes|No] "
local SURE
read SURE
if [ "$SURE" = "yes" ]; then
stop
  rm -f "$PIDFILE"
  echo "Notice: log file is not be removed: '$LOGFILE'" >&2
  update-rc.d -f <NAME> remove
  rm -fv "$0"
fi
}

status() {
      printf "%-50s" "Checking $NAME..."
  if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
      PID=$(cat $PIDFILE)
          if [ -z "$(ps axf | grep ${PID} | grep -v grep)" ]; then
              printf "%s\n" "The process appears to be dead but pidfile still exists"
          else
              echo "Running, the PID is $PID"
          fi
  else
      printf "%s\n" "Service not running"
  fi
}


case "$1" in
start)
  start
  ;;
stop)
  stop
  ;;
status)
  status
  ;;
uninstall)
  uninstall
  ;;
restart)
  stop
  start
  ;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|uninstall}"
esac


I'm not used to SMEServer, and Linux distributions generally, so I never handled those things :s
If you have some advises that can help me creating templates and modifying the script if needed, I'd be rather happy ! :D

Thanks a lot.


Best Regards,

MScapin.

You should have a look directly to the code of a contrib to understand how it works (think about also to the createlinks). You can also take a look into the the sme and look to /etc/e-smith/templates.

The principle is really simple

/etc/e-smith/templates/root/plop/10base
When you expand it
Expand-template /root/plop

You will find a file with the content you set in 10base

Steph, I'm actually trying to create the createlinks file and I saw yours for Roundcube (https://github.com/stephdl/smeserver-roundcube/blob/master/createlinks).
Could you explain what is done in this createlinks file ?

What should I put in mine ?
Thanks alot ! :)

It's a copy paste of my locked subjet (but the question is the same and MScapin is on the same works.)


Hello everyone, i have now my rpm for syncthing, the installation work well and syncthing too, but now i have to do the createlinks for my SMESERVER-SYNCTHING, in it i need my template, and some configuration files (getting the web app of syncthing in the server-manager)

I used all the work of Eloi Nicolas of this bugz : http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8831

Got all the files i need, but i don't even know how to create these create link, i read the docs, but i don't understand them.

Maybe you guys got an easier docs or can explain to me ?

Sorry my english, i'm not good at all...

Best regards,
Dimitri.

Thanks alot ! :)

the createlinks is there to make links to
services (restart, sigusr1,reload... following an event , for example roundcube-update)
templates(do an expand-template following an event, for example roundcube-update)
actions (launch an action (it can be a perl/bash script for doign something,  after/before the template-expand or after the service triggered following an event, for example roundcube-update) :

number <10 (action launched before template expansion)
number >=10<90 after template-expansion and before service triggered
number >90 action launched after service triggered

(may someone can confirm this please)

You need to make a plan of what you need, take a look of all your template2expand, services and actions to launch, but you have some mandatory events in sme. All your new event/template/service in createlinks should be tied to  bootstrap-console-save  (which is an event called during the reconfiguration of your server) and your new event.
Eventually you can use post-upgrade but I rather prefer to use bootstrap

What I try to do when I do an event roundcube-update, is to avoid the need to reconfigure my server, all actions,templates,services are adjusted accordingly to avoid to reboot the server.
In fact I hate to restart the server.....

However you can't use the same function in the createlinks for roundcube-update and bootstrap-console-save because a lot of actions,services and templates are already tied to this last event, so you need to look in that event and determine what are your needs

A (good) developer should never read the documentation, he should always read the code....I'm kidding...I go out

you have this
http://wiki.contribs.org/Esmith::Build::CreateLinks
http://wiki.contribs.org/Createlinks_example_script
https://github.com/stephdl?tab=repositories

this is what it is done with roundcube-update, like you can see...it is links, blank files and actions launched following the event roundcube-update (signal-event roundcube-update)
