Hexo systemD unit file

[Kosmito]

Hexo is a simple, lightweight node blog framework. It didn’t include a SystemD Unit file, so I created one:

Hexo SystemD Unit File

Create the next file on this location

Code: Select all

 # cd /etc/systemd/system/

Code: Select all

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/home/YOURDOMAIN/FOLDER WHERE IS INSTALLED
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/hexo server
Restart=always
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=hexo
User=REPLACE WITH YOUR USER
Group=REPLACE WITH YOUR USER
Environment=NODE_ENV=production

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

in some case you need to reload the daemon

Code: Select all

# systemctl daemon-reload

and start the service with

Code: Select all

# systemctl start hexo

if everything go well you are not to see any errors you can check is running with

Code: Select all

# systemctl status hexo

is going to be like this

Code: Select all
