Awesome news. I have been waiting for this day for 10+ years.

 

Thanks

 

 

The current Fedora / EPEL package supplies a SystemD unit file but it uses

type=oneshot which I don't agree with (although it works). I'm currently

working on taking over maintenance of the package since the current

maintainer doesn't really use it anymore. I plan on changing the service

file to:

 

# systemctl cat backuppc.service

# /etc/systemd/system/backuppc.service

[Unit]

Description= BackupPC server

After=syslog.target local-fs.target remote-fs.target

 

[Service]

Type=forking

User=backuppc

Group=backuppc

ExecStart=/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d

PIDFile=/var/run/BackupPC/BackupPC.pid

 

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

 

Keep in mind that the package patches the location of the pid file as 3.X

put it in the log directory ($logDir or something like that).

 

Thanks,

Richard
