Some extra logic for the Linux distribution

[rtigd2 8]

Following on from someone asking about it last year, I modify my debian systemctl script to allow for 'graceful' server stops. At the same time, I prefer to use a different user to 'emby' for many reasons (mostly a carry over from what I was using before) so I've written a script that downloads the latest (always on beta) and then opens up the systemctl script so I can make my changes, then does all the daemon reload etc etc etc.

 

My question is, are we going to see this kind of thing implemented in the future?

 

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/emby-server.service

[Unit]
Description=Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device.
After=network.target

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/etc/emby-server.conf
WorkingDirectory=/opt/emby-server
ExecStart=/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server
ExecStop=/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-stop
RestartForceExitStatus=3
User=<my user>

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

/opt/emby-server/bin/emby-stop

#!/bin/sh
APIKEY=<the key>
METHOD=http
HOST=localhost
PORT=8096

curl -X POST "$METHOD://$HOST:$PORT/emby/System/Shutdown?api_key=$APIKEY" --head -H 'Content-Length: 1'

Or, at least, have the packager not over-write (by default) the systemctl config, perhaps add a .packagenew version (or similar)?

It's possible for the future, thanks.
