This layer was originally designed for installing services developed in Go.
Add layer:go-binary to your layer.yaml.
Add a configuration file, go-binary.yaml:
binary: <name of binary>
args: <command line arguments (not including the binary name)
For example:
binary: hockeypuck
args: --config /etc/hockeypuck/hockeypuck.conf
will result in an upstart job that executes '/usr/bin/hockeypuck --config /etc/hockeypuck/hockeypuck.conf`.
Finally, copy the statically-compiled binary (same name as specified in
go-binary.yaml) to files/. Technically, it doesn't have to be
a Go-compiled binary, but that's the intended purpose.
This layer will:
- Install the provided binary to /usr/bin.
- Create an upstart job for the binary, that automatically starts it. Service name is the same as the binary name.
This layer consumes the following states. The state is removed once it is handled.
Will start the service, or restart it if already running.
Will stop the service, if it was running. If not, it has no effect.
This layer provides the following states. They should be removed once they are handled by your layer.
Is set once the service is installed.
Is set when the service is started.
- Support for multiple release versions.
- User separation between files and running process.
