Preferred way to run BaseX as service on Debian
Hi, is there perhaps an init.d script somewhere already in order to launch basexserver as a service on Debian? So far it looks as though there isn't one in the Debian package, so I'm thinking of adding a line to rc.local to run it on startup. Also, from what I gathered, basex is now only available in sid, is that correct? I installed it on squeeze by downloading the deb, there's just one dependency on java-wrappers that I needed to install by hand. Thanks, Manuel

no, not yet, but good idea. I filed an issue for that [1]

the current version is available in sid and, since yesterday, in testing. right, java-wrappers are the only dependency. libtagsoup-java might be of interest if you want to process non-wellformed HTML. providing the latest version as squeeze-backport is a good idea as well (filed another issue [2] Thanks, Alex [1] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/499 [2] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/500
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 <alex@holupirek.de> wrote:

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 <christian.gruen@gmail.com> wrote:

Manuel: I wrote a while ago a note around deploying BaseX on an Amazon EC2 Linux instance. This includes a rudimentary init.d script. See https://docs.google.com/a/metadatatechnology.com/document/d/1uuqeL7n73MC6tAF... This might be helpful to your Debian use case. best Pascal On 5/10/12 10:06 AM, Christian Grün wrote:
