The directory lists some systemd unit files for example, which can be used to run rathole
as a service on Linux.
The @
symbol in name of unit files such as
rathole@.service
facilitates the management of multiple instances of rathole
.
For the naming of the example, ratholes
stands for rathole --server
, and ratholec
stands for rathole --client
, rathole
is just rathole
.
Assuming that rathole
is installed in /usr/bin/rathole
, and the configuration file is in /etc/rathole/app1.toml
, the following steps shows how to run an instance of rathole --server
.
- Create a service file.
sudo cp ratholes@.service /etc/systemd/system/
- Create the configuration file
app1.toml
.
sudo mkdir -p /etc/rathole
# And create the configuration file named `app1.toml` inside /etc/rathole
- Enable and start the service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload # Make sure systemd find the new unit
sudo systemctl enable ratholes@app1 --now
And if there's another configuration named app2.toml
in /etc/rathole
, then
sudo systemctl enable ratholes@app2 --now
can start an instance for that configuration.
The same applies to rathole --client
and rathole
.
