Service registration

After you have installed ELO Sync, you can register it as a system service, so that it starts automatically with the operating system.

Windows

To register ELO Sync as a Windows service, execute the following command in PowerShell as an administrator:

New-Service -Name ELOSync -DisplayName "ELO Sync" -Description "ELO Sync provides synchronization between ELO repositories and third-party systems" -BinaryPathName C:\Full\Path\To\EloSync\Elo.Sync.Main.exe

Information

This command runs the ELO Sync service under the SYSTEM account of the Windows installation.

Linux

Create an elosync.service systemd unit file for the ELO Sync service with the following content:

[Unit]
Description=ELO Sync provides synchronization between ELO repositories and third-party systems
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/path/to/elosync/
ExecStart=/path/to/elosync/Elo.Sync.Main
# Always restart if the service exits
Restart=always
RestartSec=5
KillSignal=SIGINT
Environment=ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production

Information

The ELO Sync service is then executed as root with these instructions.

This is not recommended, but setting up and configuring a service user account is not part of this guide.

You can find information on this in the documentation for your Linux distribution.

Open a terminal in the directory where you created the elosync.service file and execute the following commands:

sudo cp elosync.service /etc/systemd/system/elosync.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start elosync.service
# If you want to enable auto start execute the following
sudo systemctl enable elosync.service
