Hi, Thanks for the fast answers!
Yes, that init.d script looks like what I was looking for. If I understand correctly now, the data is going to be stored in the BaseXData directory of the user who launched the service? Another thing that came to mind: is there perhaps a way by which basexserver could be bound only to the loopback address (or to some configured IP address)? I remember this being possible in e.g. mysql, and it is a quite nice way of securing the server (since someone could arguably try to brute-force access if knowing the port on the machine, or using the default port). Of course an alternative is to set-up a rule in iptables. Also, I haven't quite found yet where the username and password are being configured - do I need to create a configuration file for this? Some additional ideas for the Debian package: - have it set-up a basex user, which is the default user running basex-server - set the data directory for that server to be e.g. in /var/lib/basex, to be more in line with Debian's default behavior Thanks, Manuel On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 4:06 PM, Christian Grün <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Manuel, > > thanks for your input; at times, there were some online references to > init.d scripts for BaseX; maybe they could be of interest here? > > http://blog.neolocus.com/2012/02/basex-xml-server-as-a-linux-service/ > http://cubeb.blogspot.com/2011/07/basex_23.html > > Christian > ___________________________ > > On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 3:47 PM, Alexander Holupirek <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Hi Manuel, >> >> On 10.05.2012, at 15:22, Manuel Bernhardt wrote: >> >>> is there perhaps an init.d script somewhere already in order to launch >>> basexserver as a service on Debian? >> >> no, not yet, but good idea.
