PPA debs restart rabbit
Locked
 
|
We're using the PPA for rabbit but the current debian files are not suitable for production deployments because they stop and restart the process. I understand the desire to start the process if it was not already running, but embedding the restart logic in the deb means that users have no control over the process. As it is very common to use the PPA within the context of a configuration management system (Salt, Chef, etc), it would be best to leave that decision up to the user.

What do you mean by "restart logic"? I could see the point in adding some START_THE_SERVER variable to /etc/default/rabbitmq-server, would that help?

I believe he’s saying that when you install the deb (or upgrade it) it automatically starts or restarts rabbitmq-server, causing less than desirable behavior.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Even "start on first install" has problems in that there may be other preconditions yet to be set, though it is less problematic than automatically restarting. For now, I've changed our Salt states to freeze to a specific version so that we won't be surprised by a process restart. On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 6:38 PM, Gavin M. Roy <[hidden email]> wrote:

We just discovered today that this is further complicated because the PPA is only hosting the current version, so Salt fails when trying to apply the ruleset and ensure the version we froze is installed.

Any update on the PPA hosting archived versions? It's becoming very painful to use Salt or any other CMS when we want to freeze to a specific version. Fixing that problem would allow us to get past the issue of the deb restarting the service.

I'm afraid we haven't had time to work on this.
