DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Plugin::Systemd is a Mojolicious plugin that allows your application to read configuration from a Systemd service (unit) file.

It works by parsing the Environment, EnvironmentFile and UnsetEnvironment statements in the service file and inject those environment variables into your application. This is especially useful if your application is run by Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad, since you cannot "inject" environment variables into a running application, meaning SOME_VAR below won't change anything in your already started application:

  $ SOME_VAR=42 /path/to/hypnotoad /home/myapp/script/my_app

See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/cosmic/man5/systemd.exec.5.html#environment for more information about Environment, EnvironmentFile and UnsetEnvironment.

ATTRIBUTES

config_map

  $hash_ref = $self->config_map;

Returns a structure for how "config" in Mojolicious can be set from environment variables. By default the environment variables below are supported:

  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{accepts}            = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_ACCEPTS}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{backlog}            = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_BACKLOG}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{clients}            = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_CLIENTS}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{graceful_timeout}   = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_GRACEFUL_TIMEOUT}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{heartbeat_interval} = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{heartbeat_timeout}  = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{inactivity_timeout} = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{listen}             = [split /\s+/, $ENV{MOJO_LISTEN}];
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{pid_file}           = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_PID_FILE}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{proxy}              = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_PROXY}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{requests}           = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_REQUESTS}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{spare}              = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_SPARE}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{upgrade_timeout}    = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_UPGRADE_TIMEOUT}
  $app->config->{hypnotoad}{workers}            = $ENV{MOJO_SERVER_WORKERS}

METHODS

register

  $app->plugin("Systemd");
  $app->plugin("Systemd" => {config_map => {...}, service_file => "..."});

Used to register the plugin in your application. The following options are otional:

• config_map

  The config_map must be a hash-ref and will be merged with the "config_map" attribute. Example:

    $app->plugin(Systemd => {
      config_map => {
        # Add your own custom environment variables. The empty quotes means
        # that the environment variable should be read as a string.
        database => {
          url => sub { (MYAPP_DB_URL => "") },
        },
        hypnotoad => {
          # Remove support for the default MOJO_SERVER_ACCEPTS environment
          # variable
          accepts => undef,
  
          # Change the environment variable from MOJO_LISTEN and
          # the regexp to split the environment variable into a list
          listen  => sub { (MYAPP_LISTEN => [qr{[,\s]}]) },
        }
      }
    });

• service_file

  Defaults to the environment variable SYSTEMD_SERVICE_FILE and is required if XDG_SESSION_ID is set. Must be a full path to where your service file is located. See "Example systemd unit file" for example.
