tomo-plugin-aws_sqs

This is a tomo plugin that provides tasks for managing aws_sqs via systemd, based on the recommendations in the aws_sqs documentation. This plugin assumes that you are also using the tomo rbenv and env plugins, and that you are using a systemd-based Linux distribution like Ubuntu 18 LTS.

Installation

Run:

$ gem install tomo-plugin-aws_sqs

Or add it to your Gemfile:

gem "tomo-plugin-aws_sqs"

Then add the following to .tomo/config.rb:

plugin "aws_sqs"

setup do
  # ...
  run "aws_sqs:setup_systemd"
end

deploy do
  # ...
  # Place this task at *after* core:symlink_current
  run "aws_sqs:restart"
end

enable-linger

This plugin installs aws_sqs as a user-level service using systemctl --user. This allows aws_sqs to be installed, started, stopped, and restarted without a root user or sudo. However, when provisioning the host you must make sure to run the following command as root to allow the aws_sqs process to continue running even after the tomo deploy user disconnects:

# run as root
$ loginctl enable-linger <DEPLOY_USER>

Settings

Name	Purpose
`aws_sqs_systemd_service`	Name of the systemd unit that will be used to manage goodjob Default:* `"aws_sqs*%{application}.service"`
`aws_sqs_systemd_service_path`	Location where the systemd unit will be installed Default: `".config/systemd/user/%{aws_sqs_systemd_service}"`
`aws_sqs_systemd_command`	Command to run Default: `"bundle exec aws_sqs_active_job --queue default"`
`aws_sqs_systemd_service_template_path`	Local path to the ERB template that will be used to create the systemd unit Default: service.erb

Tasks

aws_sqs:setup_systemd

Configures systemd to manage aws_sqs. This means that aws_sqs will automatically be restarted if it crashes, or if the host is rebooted. This task essentially does two things:

Installs a aws_sqs.service systemd unit
Enables it using systemctl --user enable

Note that these units will be installed and run for the deploy user. You can use :aws_sqs_systemd_service_template_path to provide your own template and customize how aws_sqs and systemd are configured.

aws_sqs:setup_systemd is intended for use as a setup task. It must be run before aws_sqs can be started during a deploy.

aws_sqs:restart

Gracefully restarts the aws_sqs service via systemd, or starts it if it isn't running already. Equivalent to:

systemctl --user restart aws_sqs.service

aws_sqs:start

Starts the aws_sqs service via systemd, if it isn't running already. Equivalent to:

systemctl --user start aws_sqs.service

aws_sqs:stop

Stops the aws_sqs service via systemd. Equivalent to:

systemctl --user stop aws_sqs.service

aws_sqs:status

Prints the status of the aws_sqs systemd service. Equivalent to:

systemctl --user status aws_sqs.service

aws_sqs:log

Uses journalctl (part of systemd) to view the log output of the aws_sqs service. This task is intended for use as a run task and accepts command-line arguments. The arguments are passed through to the journalctl command. For example:

$ tomo run -- aws_sqs:log -f

Will run this remote script:

journalctl -q --user-unit=aws_sqs.service -f
