[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch systemd unit file for debian?

Discussion:

Happy Friday!

I'm having trouble using latest release systemd unit file on Debian
Jessie.. It looks like the unit file is the same in master, so I imagine
the issue exists there too..

On my system (fresh Debian 8 install), I get the following failure when
trying to start using the included unit file:

May 01 12:48:22 XXX systemd[9119]: Failed at step CHDIR spawning
/bin/mkdir: No such file or directory

I'm new to systemd, but it looks like the problem is that the
WorkingDirectory is set to /run/freeswitch. Trouble is that
/run/freeswitch is created in an ExecStartPre statement. That's the best
explanation I have for the CHDIR failure that systemd is complaining about.

It looks like the only way to get /run/freeswitch created soon enough to be
used as a WorkingDirectory is the tmpfiles.d mechanism that systemd has.
Am I on the right track, or am I missing an obvious solution?

Thanks!

Hello,
I modified the path variables in the systemd init file.
My file looks like this:

I've got one that works now after discovering that RuntimeDirectory= will
create a directory for you under /run.. I'll try to get you the pull

Hi Joseph, Any chance you can share your service file, I am having
issues myself trying to get freeswitch running with systemd.

Thank You,

John,

This is what I ended up with that works.. I've been busy and haven't been
able to get all the stuff in place to put in a pull request :-/ This still
requires you to link binaries to /usr/bin from wherever you compile your
Freeswitch to..

I think the key is to make sure that the pid file gets created in the right
spot -- note the -run flag being passed to override the run directory to be
/run/freeswitch

I had mine as /var/run/freeswitch and a Pidfile directive, but it did
not work, but -nf does, so I guess its OK.

Can someone please open a jira and a pull request to add this to tree, and to include it in jesse packages?
