+++ title = "Starting Garage with systemd" weight = 15 +++
We make some assumptions for this systemd deployment.
-
Your garage binary is located at
/usr/local/bin/garage. -
Your configuration file is located at
/etc/garage.toml. -
Your
garage.tomlmust be set withmetadata_dir=/var/lib/garage/metaanddata_dir=/var/lib/garage/data. This is mandatory to usesystemdhardening feature Dynamic User. Note that in your host filesystem, Garage data will be held in/var/lib/private/garage.
Create a file named /etc/systemd/system/garage.service:
[Unit]
Description=Garage Data Store
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Service]
Environment='RUST_LOG=garage=info' 'RUST_BACKTRACE=1'
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/garage server
StateDirectory=garage
DynamicUser=true
ProtectHome=true
NoNewPrivileges=true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
A note on hardening: garage will be run as a non privileged user, its user id is dynamically allocated by systemd. It cannot access (read or write) home folders (/home, /root and /run/user), the rest of the filesystem can only be read but not written, only the path seen as /var/lib/garage is writable as seen by the service (mapped to /var/lib/private/garage on your host). Additionnaly, the process can not gain new privileges over time.
To start the service then automatically enable it at boot:
sudo systemctl start garage
sudo systemctl enable garage
To see if the service is running and to browse its logs:
sudo systemctl status garage
sudo journalctl -u garage
If you want to modify the service file, do not forget to run systemctl daemon-reload
to inform systemd of your modifications.
