Systemd

For production deployments, DoubleDino can run as a systemd service.

Systemd provides:

  • Automatic startup after reboot.
  • Process monitoring.
  • Automatic restarts.
  • Standard Linux service management.

Create environment file​

Create:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/doubledino
sudo nano /etc/doubledino/env

Example:

DD_MODE=proxy

DD_SOURCE_URL=postgres://user:password@localhost:5432/database

DD_SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key

DD_AUTH_KEY=your-api-key

DD_HTTP_PORT=8080

Create service​

Create:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/doubledino.service

Example:

[Unit]
Description=DoubleDino
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple

WorkingDirectory=/opt/doubledino

ExecStart=/opt/doubledino/doubledino

EnvironmentFile=/etc/doubledino/env

Restart=always
RestartSec=5

StandardOutput=journal
StandardError=journal

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Adjust the paths to match your installation.

Enable service​

Reload systemd:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Enable startup on boot:

sudo systemctl enable doubledino

Start DoubleDino:

sudo systemctl start doubledino

Check status​

sudo systemctl status doubledino

Example:

● doubledino.service
   Loaded: loaded
   Active: active (running)

DoubleDino
Mode: proxy
Source: postgres
Status: online

View logs​

DoubleDino writes logs to standard output and error.

View logs:

sudo journalctl -u doubledino

Follow live logs:

sudo journalctl -u doubledino -f

Restart​

Restart after configuration changes:

sudo systemctl restart doubledino

Stop​

sudo systemctl stop doubledino

Notes​

  • DoubleDino does not require a systemd service.
  • Running directly is suitable for temporary workflows.
  • Systemd is recommended for long-running infrastructure deployments.
