SystemD

SystemD integration for Crystal applications, can notify systemd, get socket listeners and store/restore file descriptors. libsystemd is only required for storing FDs.

Man pages:

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/sd_pid_notify.3.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/sd_listen_fds.3.html

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     systemd:
       github: 84codes/systemd.cr

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "systemd"

# Notify SystemD when the application has started
SystemD.notify_ready

# Update the status
SystemD.notify_status("Accepting connections")

# When reloading
Signal::HUP.trap do
  SystemD.notify_reloading
  # reload
  SystemD.notify_ready
end

# Starts a watchdog fiber that will report to systemd that the app is ok
# Enable systemd watchdog support with `WatchdogSec=5` under `[Service]`
SystemD.watchdog

# Store FDs with the SystemD, they will be sent back
# to the application when it restarts. Requires libsystemd
clients = Array(TCPSocket).new
SystemD.store_fds(clients.map &.fd)

# Retrive store FDs
SystemD.named_listeners do |socket, name|
  case name
  when .ends_with?(".socket")
    spawn do
      while client = socket.accept?
        spawn handle_client(client)
      end
    end
  when "stored" # stored FD without name
    @connections << socket
  else
    ...
  end
end
