Installing Talend Runtime as a service on systemd-based Linux systems

About this task

The Talend Runtime Container is based on Apache Karaf. Karaf Service Wrapper makes it possible to install the Talend Runtime Container as a service.

Installing the wrapper

Install the Apache Karaf Service Wrapper to generate the Talend Runtime service files.

Procedure

Browse to the bin folder of the Talend Runtime installation directory, then launch the container by executing the trun file as root.
To install the wrapper feature, type:
karaf@trun> feature:install wrapper

Once installed, wrapper feature will provide wrapper:install new command in the trun, which allows you to install Talend Runtime as a service.

To install the service, type in the following command:

karaf@trun> wrapper:install

Alternatively, to register the container as a service in automatic start mode, simply type:

karaf@trun> wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n TALEND-CONTAINER -d Talend-Container -D "Talend Container Service"

where TALEND-CONTAINER is the name of the service, Talend-Container is the display name of the service and "Talend Container Service" is the description of the service.

Here is an example of the wrapper:install command executed on Linux:

karaf@trun()> feature:install wrapper
karaf@trun()> wrapper:install -s AUTO_START -n TALEND-CONTAINER \
-d Talend-Container -D "Talend Container Service"
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER-wrapper
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER-service
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/bin/TALEND-CONTAINER.service
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/etc/TALEND-CONTAINER-wrapper.conf
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/lib/libwrapper.so
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/lib/karaf-wrapper.jar
Creating file: <TalendRuntimePath>/lib/karaf-wrapper-main.jar
Setup complete. You may want to tweak the JVM properties in the wrapper
configuration file:
<TalendRuntimePath>/etc/TALEND-CONTAINER-wrapper.conf
before installing and starting the service.

Results

The Talend Runtime service files are generated. You can now install the Talend Runtime service.
