Who can share start/stop script for SysVinit: /etc/init.d/radicale

[cmonty14]

Hi!
Can you share a configuration for running Radicale as a SysVinit service?
I managed the installation in LXC with Alpine Linux and the application is running.

I'm using this:

[Unit]
Description=A simple CalDAV (calendar) and CardDAV (contact) server
After=network.target
Requires=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/env python3 -m radicale
Restart=on-failure
User=radicale
# Deny other users access to the calendar data
UMask=0027
# Optional security settings
PrivateTmp=true
ProtectSystem=strict
ProtectHome=true
PrivateDevices=true
ProtectKernelTunables=true
ProtectKernelModules=true
ProtectControlGroups=true
NoNewPrivileges=true
ReadWritePaths=/var/lib/radicale/collections

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

@frasten This is a systemd service file, Alpine Linux doesn’t have systemd…

As OpenRC is used by many non-SystemD distros, including Alpine I’ll take that you’d probably prefer OpenRC instead of actual SysVinit. (as they often end up with ~200 lines)
There is https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/www-apps/radicale/files/radicale.init.d for radicale 1.x.x

And I’m using this script for radicale 2.x.x

#!/sbin/openrc-run
#command="/srv/radicale/Radicale/radicale.py"
command="python"
command_args="-m radicale"
command_user="radicale"
command_background="yes"
pidfile="/var/run/radicale.pid"
description="A Free and Open-Source CalDAV and CardDAV Server"

depend() {
        need localmount
        need net
}

Hi there, on Ubuntu16.04 LTS this leads during boot time to [    4.813488] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/radicale.service:14] Failed to parse protect system value, ignoring: strict [    4.813621] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/radicale.service:17] Unknown lvalue 'ProtectKernelTunables' in section 'Service' [    4.813751] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/radicale.service:18] Unknown lvalue 'ProtectKernelModules' in section 'Service' [    4.813880] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/radicale.service:19] Unknown lvalue 'ProtectControlGroups' in section 'Service' [    4.814009] systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/radicale.service:21] Unknown lvalue 'ReadWritePaths' in section 'Service' Apparently, it has no impact during runtime.

This is my imperfect script at /etc/init.d/radicale:

#! /bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          radicale
# Required-Start:    $local_fs
# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description: Provides webDav calendar
# Description: Provides radicale, a webDav server implementation
### END INIT INFO

N=/etc/init.d/radicale

set -e

case "$1" in
  start)
        python3 -m radicale --storage-filesystem-folder=/var/lib/radicale/collections >/dev/null 2>&1 &
        ;;
  stop)
        pid=$(ps -ef | grep '[p]ython3 -m radicale' | awk '{ print $2 }')
        kill $pid
        sleep 2
        echo "radicale killed"
        ;;
  status)
        pid=$(ps -ef | grep '[p]ython3 -m radicale' | awk '{ print $2 }')
        if [ -e /proc/${pid} -a -e /proc/${pid}/exe ]; then
                echo "radicale is running with PID $pid"
        else
                echo "radicale is not running"
        fi
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|status}" >&2
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

exit 0

Invoke like: service radicale start.

Hi @dr0i ,

Thanks for posting this. Yours worked for me in a pinch.
I opened a new issue for the one that ships with the Radicale3 '.deb' not working: #1188
I'm hoping to get help/rewrite on the official script.

My Radicale is running Gunicorn, and the above script wasn't working properly because I'm on a Raspberry, and the main cause of the crash is that the usb raid it's running on is somehow being unmounted.
Starting from @dr0i's code, I created a script that uses netstat to check the status and mountpoint to detect the mount status, and reboot.

#! /bin/sh

            echo "started radicale"
