tags: [consul, systemd, ubuntu]
At home I use Ubuntu, consul and (vault)[https://vaultproject.io] quite a bit, here is how I get consul to startup when my computer boots up using systemd
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
echo "Installing dependencies..."
if [ -x "$(command -v apt-get)" ]; then
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get install -y unzip
else
sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install -y unzip wget
fi
echo "Fetching Consul..."
CONSUL=0.7.5
cd /tmp
wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/consul/${CONSUL}/consul_${CONSUL}_linux_amd64.zip -O consul.zip
wget https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/terraform/shared/scripts/rhel_consul.service -O consul.service
echo "Installing Consul..."
unzip consul.zip >/dev/null
chmod +x consul
sudo mv consul /usr/local/bin/consul
sudo mkdir -p /opt/consul/data
# Write the flags to a temporary file
cat >/tmp/consul_flags << EOF
CONSUL_FLAGS="-server -bind=192.168.1.97 -ui -data-dir=/opt/consul/data -bootstrap-expect 1"
EOF
if [ -f /tmp/upstart.conf ];
then
echo "Installing Upstart service..."
sudo mkdir -p /etc/consul.d
sudo mkdir -p /etc/service
sudo chown root:root /tmp/upstart.conf
sudo mv /tmp/upstart.conf /etc/init/consul.conf
sudo chmod 0644 /etc/init/consul.conf
sudo mv /tmp/consul_flags /etc/service/consul
sudo chmod 0644 /etc/service/consul
else
echo "Installing Systemd service..."
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/consul.d
sudo chown root:root /tmp/consul.service
sudo mv /tmp/consul.service /etc/systemd/system/consul.service
sudo chmod 0644 /etc/systemd/system/consul.service
sudo mv /tmp/consul_flags /etc/default/consul
sudo chown root:root /etc/default/consul
sudo chmod 0644 /etc/default/consul
fi
I adapted this script from https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/blob/master/terraform/shared/scripts/install.sh
