update-rc.d: error: cannot find a LSB script for emby-server

[ziomario 1]

Hello.

 

I've just installed emby server on Devuan 5 on my ARM (v7) chromebook at 32 bit like this :

 

 

# dpkg -i emby-server-deb_4.7.14.0_armhf.deb

Selecting previously unselected package emby-server.
(Reading database ... 218751 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack emby-server-deb_4.7.14.0_armhf.deb ...
Unpacking emby-server (4.7.14.0) ...
Setting up emby-server (4.7.14.0) ...
daemon-reload is a NOP.
update-rc.d emby-server enable
update-rc.d: error: cannot find a LSB script for emby-server
service emby-server start
emby-server: unrecognized service

 

 

How can I fix the error ? thanks.

Hi, this is because we don't support sysv, only upstart and systemd at the moment. Devuan is one of the few operating systems that is using sysv.

[ziomario 1]

ok,but can I run the emby-server executable directly ? maybe like this :

 

/opt/emby-server/bin/./emby-server &

 

it will work great ?

Did you try it? We haven't tested on Devuan before. I think you'll just have to give it a shot and let us know how it goes. Thanks !

The server has been online for some time and at some point it has been killed,not by me. So I'm not sure.

Please attach the emby server log:

Thanks.

@ziomarioSure, you may run it manually, you can also make a simple rc script, in I believe /etc/rc.d/ to launch it as a service.

Not so easy to do for a newbie. Can I take this example as a skeleton ?

Wrote an init.d script according to the the dependency-booting specification (see at https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts). , called emby.sh. Placed the script under /etc/init.d.

ln -s /root/scripts/emby.sh /etc/init.d/emby 

Updated the runlevel directories under /etc/rc*:

update-rc.d emby defaults

 

emby.sh could be something like this :

 

 

#! /bin/bash

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides: emby

# Required-Start: $local_fs $network

# Required-Stop: $local_fs

# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5

# Default-Stop: 0 1 6

# Short-Description: emby service

# Description: Run emby service

### END INIT INFO

# Carry out specific functions when asked to by the system

case "$1" in

start)

echo "Starting emby-server..."

sudo -u emby-user bash -c 'cd /opt/emby-server/bin/ && ./start-emby.sh'

;;

stop)

echo "Stopping emby-server..."

sudo -u emby-user bash -c 'cd /opt/emby-server/bin/ && ./stop-emby.sh'

sleep 2

;;

*)

echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/emby {start|stop}"

exit 1

;;

esac

exit 0

 

start-emby.sh :

/opt/emby-server/bin/./emby-server &

 

stop-emby.sh

I don't know...

 

I don't know what "emby-user" is.

Do you have a question?

[ziomario 1]

yes,I was waiting for the replies to the questions that I haven't asked but I'd wrote that I didn't know what to do :

 

1) stop-emby.sh : I don't know what could be the content to add here to stop the server

2) I don't know what "emby-user" is.

The server install package creates a user called emby on the machine. Does this answer that question?

[ziomario 1]

Yes. thanks. Do you have an answer also to the first one question ? how to kill the emby server with a shell script.

for your OS i'm not sure. Just make sure to use a command that will send a graceful shutdown signal. You don't want to force kill it abruptly as that can result in database corruption. You could always script it to use the server api to shutdown.

[ziomario 1]

What's the command to close gracefully the emby server from the command line ?

Edited September 24, 2023 by ziomario

[Luke 37251]

I'm not sure there is a way other than killproc. But anyway the api request would be post to /shutdown
