Pool maintenance routines

I have tried this bit on local, and the service works perfectly now. However, all systemctl commands appear to require a password (except for status).

I think then you also have to add this line with the others, and it can be in the same /etc/sudoers.d/* file:

spuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

@Adrem

the standard user name which is created by default by AWS when launching a new ec2 instance does not require a password to turn into root (security issue?);

That’s because the default AWS instance already has such a line added by cloud-init when the instance is created. You should see the corresponding line for the default user here in the same directory: 90-cloud-init-users

@Adrem

systemd also seems not to like StartLimitIntervalSec=0 and RestartKillSignal=SIGINT, so I commented these lines out (however this is not an issue on my local ubuntu for some reason).

These parameters also work well for me on Ubuntu. For Amazon Linux & others, your mileage may vary. Every time a systemd parameter seemed system dependent, or differed from a cardano-node systemd template I’d seen before, I added a web link to the corresponding documentation page. Here are some other templates for you to pick & choose parameters from:

hi all yesterday @disasm mentioned to use systemd to manage your cardano-node process and to set the limits in it, and to use SIGINT. here’s what I’m using: (of course YMMV) [Unit] Description=Shelley Pioneer Pool After=multi-user.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/cardano-node run --topology ./config/ff-topology.json --socket-path ./socket/core-node.socket --database-path ./db/ --config ./config/ff-config.json --host-addr 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 KillSignal = "SI…
