Portable Service
To run this service as a portable service, you either need to build it from source or fetch a premade image from my server. Then you need to activate the portable service and manage it like any other systemd service.
Getting Image
Building From Source
To build from source, install Nix and enable flakes. Then run this command:
nix build "git+https://tulpa.dev/cadey/printerfacts.git?ref=main#portable-service"
Copy this to somewhere on your target server:
scp $(readlink ./result) target:printerfacts_0.3.1.raw
Downloading From My Server
Visit my portable services
repository server and download the
most recent printerfacts .raw file. Put it somewhere on the target machine.
Installing and Activating
If you are running Ubuntu 22.04, you will need to install systemd-portabled:
sudo apt -y install systemd-container
This may work on other distros, but I have only tested this on Ubuntu 22.04.
Then attach the service image:
sudo portablectl attach ./printerfacts_0.3.1.raw
And activate it like any other systemd service:
sudo systemctl enable --now printerfacts.service
And then fetch a printer fact:
$ curl http://[::1]:32042/fact
On average, a printer will sleep for 16 hours a day.
