# Basic init yt-local for openrc
## Prerequisites
- System with OpenRC installed and configured.
- Administrative privileges (doas or sudo).
- `ytlocal` script located at `/usr/sbin/ytlocal` and application files in an accessible directory.
## Service Installation
1. **Create the OpenRC service script** `/etc/init.d/ytlocal`:
```sh
#!/sbin/openrc-run
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v3 or later
name="yt-local"
pidfile="/var/run/ytlocal.pid"
command="/usr/sbin/ytlocal"
depend() {
use net
}
start_pre() {
if [ ! -f /usr/sbin/ytlocal ]; then
eerror "Please create script file of ytlocal in '/usr/sbin/ytlocal'"
return 1
else
return 0
fi
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting yt-local"
start-stop-daemon --start --exec "${command}" --pidfile "${pidfile}"
eend $?
}
reload() {
ebegin "Reloading ${name}"
start-stop-daemon --signal HUP --pidfile "${pidfile}"
eend $?
}
stop() {
ebegin "Stopping ${name}"
start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --exec "${command}" --pidfile "${pidfile}"
eend $?
}
```
> [!NOTE]
> Ensure the script is executable:
>
> ```sh
> doas chmod a+x /etc/init.d/ytlocal
> ```
2. **Create the executable script** `/usr/sbin/ytlocal`:
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Change the working directory according to your installation path
# Example: if installed in /usr/local/ytlocal, use:
cd /home/your-path/ytlocal/ # <-- MODIFY TO YOUR PATH
source venv/bin/activate
python server.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &
echo $! > /var/run/ytlocal.pid
```
> [!WARNING]
> Run this script only as root or via `doas`, as it writes to `/var/run` and uses network privileges.
> [!TIP]
> To store the PID in a different location, adjust the `pidfile` variable in the service script.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Verify that the virtual environment (`venv`) is correctly set up and that `python` points to the appropriate version.
> [!CAUTION]
> Do not stop the process manually; use OpenRC commands (`rc-service ytlocal stop`) to avoid race conditions.
> [!NOTE]
> When run with administrative privileges, the configuration is saved in `/root/.yt-local`, which is rootonly.
## Service Management
- **Status**: `doas rc-service ytlocal status`
- **Start**: `doas rc-service ytlocal start`
- **Restart**: `doas rc-service ytlocal restart`
- **Stop**: `doas rc-service ytlocal stop`
- **Enable at boot**: `doas rc-update add ytlocal default`
- **Disable**: `doas rc-update del ytlocal`
## PostInstallation Verification
- Confirm the process is running: `doas rc-service ytlocal status`
- Inspect logs for issues: `doas tail -f /var/log/ytlocal.log` (if logging is configured).
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
- **Service fails to start**: verify script permissions, correct `command=` path, and that the virtualenv exists.
- **Port conflict**: adjust the servers port configuration before launching.
- **Import errors**: ensure all dependencies are installed in the virtual environment.
[!IMPORTANT]
Keep the service script updated when modifying startup logic or adding new dependencies.
