Making Ruby Scripts work Under System D Using rbenv
Feb 13, 2020
This has bit me I think every single time I make a SystemD launch script using ruby and rbenv (RVM is worse; imho). Perhaps writing it down for once makes the lesson stick.
Let's start with our SystemD unit file that doesn't work:
[Unit]
Description=Twitter To Kafka
[Service]
SyslogIdentifier=twitter_to_kafka
User=ubuntu
PIDFile=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.pid
WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka
ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.sh
ExecReload=/home/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.sh
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This generates errors like these:
❯ sudo systemctl status twitter_to_kafka.service

The problem is that rbenv is a shell extension so the shell has to be loaded to run this correctly. Just adding /bin/bash -lc to ExecStart and ExecReload fixes this. Here's the actual working unit file:
[Unit]
Description=Twitter To Kafka
[Service]
SyslogIdentifier=twitter_to_kafka
User=ubuntu
PIDFile=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.pid
WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka
ExecStart=/bin/bash -lc /home/ubuntu/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.sh
ExecReload=/bin/bash -lc /home/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka/twitter_to_kafka.sh
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
