# Running wireproxy with systemd
|
|
|
|
If you're on a systemd-based distro, you'll most likely want to run Wireproxy as a systemd unit.
|
|
|
|
The provided systemd unit assumes you have the wireproxy executable installed on `/opt/wireproxy/wireproxy` and a configuration file stored at `/etc/wireproxy.conf`. These paths can be customized by editing the unit file.
|
|
|
|
# Setting up the unit
|
|
|
|
1. Copy the `wireproxy.service` file from this directory to `/etc/systemd/system/`, or use the following cURL command to download it:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pufferffish/wireproxy/master/systemd/wireproxy.service | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/wireproxy.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. If necessary, customize the unit.
|
|
|
|
Edit the parts with `LoadCredential`, `ExecStartPre=` and `ExecStart=` to point to the executable and the configuration file. For example, if wireproxy is installed on `/usr/bin` and the configuration file is located in `/opt/myfiles/wireproxy.conf` do the following change:
|
|
```service
|
|
LoadCredential=conf:/opt/myfiles/wireproxy.conf
|
|
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/wireproxy -n -c ${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/conf
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/bin/wireproxy -c ${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Reload systemd and enable the unit.
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
sudo systemctl enable --now wireproxy.service
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. Make sure it's working correctly.
|
|
|
|
Finally, check out the unit status to confirm `wireproxy.service` has started without problems. You can use commands like `systemctl status wireproxy.service` and/or `sudo journalctl -u wireproxy.service`.
|
|
|
|
# Additional notes
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable the extensive logging that's done by Wireproxy, simply add `-s` parameter to `ExecStart=`. This will enable the silent mode that was implemented with [pull/67](https://github.com/pufferffish/wireproxy/pull/67).
