Start the PullRequest Proxy
Configure the PullRequest Proxy service to run.
At this point, we have configured PullRequest Proxy enough where it can connect to the HackerOne Code application and to your source control provider. You can now go ahead and save the .env
file you've been editing up until now. You no longer need to be logged in as the pullrequest
user at this point.
exit
Configuring the pullrequest-proxy service
For this step, we are assuming that the application is running on a Linux instance with systemd
as the init process. These steps can be modified for things like supervisord
or old-style init.d
, as well.
First, let's open up a new service file under multi-user.target.wants
.
vim /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/pullrequest-proxy.service
Now, paste the following in:
[Unit]
Description=PullRequest Proxy
Documentation=https://docs.pullrequest.com/on-premise-server/
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=/home/pullrequest/pullrequest_proxy/.env
ExecStart=/home/pullrequest/pullrequest_proxy/launcher.sh
WorkingDirectory=/home/pullrequest/pullrequest_proxy
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
SyslogIdentifier=pullrequest-proxy
Restart=always
Type=simple
User=pullrequest
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
If you know what you're doing, you can go ahead and modify any of these options to match how you like your services to run.
The Restart=always
configuration option is important for the auto-upgrade feature as described later. For this feature, the new proxy binary is installed, and the old process exits. The restart pulls in the new version.
The following command should pull this configuration in to your running systemd
instance.
systemctl daemon-reload
Now, go ahead and enable the service to start automatically on boot and start it.
systemctl enable pullrequest-proxy
systemctl start pullrequest-proxy
To check on the status, run the following:
systemctl status pullrequest-proxy
To stop or restart the service, the stop
and restart
commands can be used, respectively.
Configuring Logs
In the previous section, we configured the PullRequest Proxy service to run and started it. However, the configuration itself outputs logs to the running syslog service. Normally, these logs will be output to the /var/log/messages
file. In order to output these logs to a different file, go ahead and open up a new configuration file under /etc/rsyslog.d
.
vim /etc/rsyslog.d/pullrequest-proxy.conf
Put the following in that file:
if $programname == 'pullrequest-proxy' then /var/log/pullrequest-proxy.log
& stop
Now, restart rsyslog
to pull in the new configuration:
systemctl restart rsyslog
