I am simply trying to start my node application as a service I am pointing to the server.js file and have that set as executable.



I would like to have this node app restarting on server reboot and be able to generally just use it as a service.



/etc/systemd/system/parsoid.service



[Unit]
Description=MediaWiki Parsoid Server

[Service]
ExecStart=/var/www/gwart/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor/parsoid/bin/server.js
Restart=always
User=nobody
# Note Debian/Ubuntu uses 'nogroup', RHEL/Fedora uses 'nobody'
Group=nogroup
Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/gwart/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor/parsoid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


However when checking if the service is running it does not start. The node app starts without problems by doing node /var/www/gwart/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor/parsoid/bin/server.js.

    As far as I know, node files won't run by default/"natively". Try running /var/www/gwart/mediawiki/extensions/VisualEditor/parsoid/bin/server.js in your terminal. To fix this, run whereis node and prepend the binary path to the ExecStart= statement.

  • I've updated the question with the latest, but it seems to me. node ..bin/server.js will work in the terminal, however service requires an absolute path, which means I have no way of telling it where the base path should be, in regards to getting the config.yml is. I guess I could ln it?

    See my first comment. Run whereis node and use the absolute path to the node binary.

    ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /path/to/your/file.js should work fine. ExecStart=node /path/to/your/file.js won't work as node is not an absolute path.
