No systemd service file in 22.05 rpm package

[nerijus]

ejabberd-21.07-0.x86_64.rpm has systemd service file /opt/ejabberd-21.07/bin/ejabberd.service, but ejabberd-22.05-1.x86_64.rpm no longer has it. I see it was changed in #3781 and apparently systemd service file is generated by ejabberd-2x.xx-1-linux-x64.run file. It would be nice to have it back in rpm package as well.

The idea was to have the RPM package install the service unit in the proper location. Seems it's missing from the package indeed, I'll look into it.

You could test this updated package if you like:

https://ejabberd.messaging.one/download/package/ejabberd-22.05-2.x86_64.rpm

You'd enable and start the systemd service like this:

sudo systemctl --now enable ejabberd

P.S. I just installed ejabberd_22.05-2_amd64.deb and also noticed the ejabberd.service was gone. (I created it manually using the template).

I just installed ejabberd_22.05-2_amd64.deb and also noticed the ejabberd.service was gone.

That would be another, unrelated bug. I wouldn't have expected that, as I tested several installations of the DEB package. Would've expected the systemd service to be auto-started on installation.

I'll see whether I can reproduce the problem, but won't be able to test things before Wednesday.

@weiss perhaps because I had manually created a softlink in /etc/systemd/system (systemd.service -> /opt/ejabberd-21.12/bin/systemd.service). I do not want to cause you to waste your time trying to reproduce it.

[weiss]

Ah, yes, I guess you just need to remove that softlink, then.

To double-check, I've installed ejabberd_22.05-2_amd64.deb on a fresh Debian system and ended up with a /lib/systemd/system/ejabberd.service unit. systemctl status ejabberd is happy.

I'll close this issue, please open a new one if you still run into problems.
