The previous setting caused the service to hit a rate-limit when it was
restarted more than 5 times in 24h.
Editing the Caddyfile and restarting the service could also easily
trigger this rate limit.
One could argue that users could simply call `systemctl reset-failed
caddy` to reset the rate-limit counter, but this is counterintuitive
because most users won't know this command and are possibly unaware that
they had hit a rate-limit.
The service is now allowed to restart 10 times in 10 seconds before
hitting a rate limit.
This should be conservative enough to rate limit quickly failing
services and to allow users to edit and test their caddy configuration.
This closes#1718
Remove restart limit settings and use defaults
By default 5 restarts within 10 seconds are allowed without
encountering a restart limit hit, see `man systemd.unit` for details.
Set Restart to on-abnormal
The table in https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#Restart=
shows the conditions for which on-abnormal would restart the service.
It will *not* restart the service in the following cases:
- a non-zero exit status, e.g. an invalid Caddyfile
- a zero exit code (or those specified in SuccessExitStatus=) and a clean signal
clean signals are SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGTERM or SIGPIPE
3536f49e8f/src/basic/exit-status.c (L205)
The service *will be restarted* in the following cases:
- a unclean signal, e.g. SIGKILL
- on start and watchdog timeout (we don't use those systemd service
constructs explicitly)
* uses more of the builtin functionality for starting and stopping of the process by using command and command_args along with procname
* removed -f from daemon as this was hiding error message that were sent to stdout on startup, now writing stdout to the logfile directly
for example, this was being hidden:
“Activating privacy features.. [www.domain.com] failed to get certificate: Error presenting token: Could not find the start of authority”
it now shows up in the log
* aded “caddy_env” to allow the setting of environment variables that caddy might need, for example when setting creds for “DNS Challenge”
* added a check to ensure caddy_config_path file exists
* update to match same paths as systemd
* update to match new launchd plist
* generated from scratch with LaunchControl, flawless
Had some issues with the previous go and found LaunchControl which made it easy to generate a perfectly correct launchd conf
* Update README.md
* INIT-systemd use CADDYPATH instatt of HOME
* INIT-upstart use CADDYPATH instatt of HOME
* INIT-upstart use CADDYPATH instatt of HOME
* INIT-upstart use CADDYPATH instatt of HOME
* Remove unnecessary config options from systemd service so it will work with earlier versions of systemd. Simplify the systemd service instructions and make them more complete.
* Minor systemd README improvements.
* Add back some of the optional systemd 229 stuff but commented out for compat.
* A bunch of updates to the README for linux systemd.
* Updated FreeBSD init script to allow the server to stop properly
* Fixed FreeBSD init script permissions
* Updated FreeBSD init script to allow the server to stop properly
`$(which setcap)` might evaluate to nothing,
and this way the error thrown will be more clear.
If setcap is not available on Debian/Ubuntu,
you can install the package `libcap2-bin`
* dist/init/linux-sysvinit: pass --oknodo for --start as well
* dist/init/linux-sysvinit: manually rm PIDFILE
Since start-stop-daemon --remove-pidfile is new and not present
everywhere.
