This document explains the steps required to setup systemd service for Parseable server.

Prerequisites

• S3 or a compatible object storage URL.
• Credentials to read / write access the object storage.
• Bucket name created on object storage.
• Parseable binary available at /usr/local/bin/. Find and download the relevant binary from https://github.com/parseablehq/parseable/releases.

cat <<EOT >> /etc/default/parseable
P_S3_BUCKET=<s3-bucket>
P_S3_ACCESS_KEY=<access-key>
P_S3_SECRET_KEY=<secret-key>
P_S3_REGION=<region>
P_S3_URL=<s3-url>
EOT

Systemctl

Download parseable.service in /etc/systemd/system/

( cd /etc/systemd/system/; curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/parseablehq/parseable/main/deploy/systemd/parseable.service )

Note: If you want to bind to a port < 1024 with the service running as a regular user, you will need to add bind capability via the AmbientCapabilities directive in the parseable.service file:

[Service]
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
WorkingDirectory=/usr/local/

Enable startup on boot

systemctl enable parseable.service

Disable Parseable service

systemctl disable parseable.service
