=== Systemd watchdog
|
|
|
|
|
|
2017-05-10 20:25:05 +00:00
|
|
|
The watchdog automatically restarts the application if a "ping" is not received within 10 seconds. Useful to detect a frozen process.
|
2016-12-25 17:20:26 +00:00
|
|
|
To enable a watchdog, add "WatchdogSec=10s" to the service file.

=== Running Jester behind Nginx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nginx is commonly used as a reverse proxy for webservices.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edit /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default and add:
|
|
|
|
|
[source,php]
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
server {
|
|
|
|
|
listen 443;
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
# Comment out the next 3 lines to disable SSL
|
|
|
|
|
ssl on;
|
|
|
|
|
ssl_certificate /etc/REPLACEME/fullchain.pem;
|

|
|
|
|
|
# Jester listens on port 5000 by default
|
|
|
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
Reload Nginx and monitor the logfile:
|
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
|
sudo service nginx reload
