contrib/systemd: add a sample systemd unit file and a logger configuration The added logger configuration (--log-config or log_config:) uses systemd's python bindings to pass messages directly to the journal.

Start traditionally, stop synctl Starting with synctl lead to "no config file found" Stopping also leads to some (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE), but at least now we can stop the service. 2017-09-24 04:55:19 +02:00			`ExecStart=/usr/bin/python2.7 -m synapse.app.homeserver --config-path=/etc/synapse/homeserver.yaml`
Remove non-existing files, add stop, use synctl Non-existing files, when running the suggested from https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse#configuring-synapse /etc/synapse/log_config.yaml so the --log-config leads to an error /etc/sysconfig/synapse The environment-file or even the /etc/sysconfig does not exist in arch linux Also instead of calling python2 we use synctl, as this seems to be the proper way to start it, and it gives us a more useful error in the systemctl status. And we now allow stop (and therefore restart). 2017-09-24 04:26:23 +02:00			`ExecStop=/usr/bin/synctl stop /etc/synapse/homeserver.yaml`
