Start wildfly as service

Question

I installed wildfly on an ubuntu on a EC2 VM. I connect to the server via SSH and start the server with:

./standalone.sh --server-config=standalone-full.xml

This works fine until I terminate the SSH connection. How can I start this as service so it stays active after closing the SSH connection. Did not find any working guide about that. Is there any easy way to do that?

Solution

There is a script to do this.

If you want to have a service available: from the script I would assume you need to do this:

WILDFLY_DIR=$INSTALL_DIR/wildfly
INSTALL_DIR=/opt
WILDFLY_USER="wildfly"
WILDFLY_SERVICE="wildfly"

....

echo "Registrating Wildfly as service..."
# if Debian-like distribution
if [ -r /lib/lsb/init-functions ]; then
    cp $WILDFLY_DIR/bin/init.d/wildfly-init-debian.sh /etc/init.d/$WILDFLY_SERVICE
    sed -i -e 's,NAME=wildfly,NAME='$WILDFLY_SERVICE',g' /etc/init.d/$WILDFLY_SERVICE
    WILDFLY_SERVICE_CONF=/etc/default/$WILDFLY_SERVICE
fi

Ie. copy /opt/wildfly/bin/init.d/wildfly-init-debian.sh over to /etc/init.d/wildfire. Change the /etc/init.d/wildfire and change the NAME to wildfly and the part of the script a bit down explains how to start it as a service so you could make your own service from it.
