How to run YugabyteDB with systemd? - yugabytedb

Question

I'm looking for some production config files to run YugabyteDB with systemd. It should be able to specify ulimits and restart the processes on startup/failure.

Answer 1

Sometimes systemd requires for ulimits to be specified in it's config too, which the config files below also include.
yb-master service:
# /etc/systemd/system/yugabyte-master.service
[Unit]
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
Description=yugabyte-master
[Service]
RestartForceExitStatus=SIGPIPE
EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/mycompany_env
