[Spce-user] Ngcp 6.5 onwards how to add services

[Alex Lutay]

Dear Skyler,

Sipwise does NOT limit CE in any case!
We would like to grow our community and we do respect
every CE/PRO/Carrier installation we have world wide!

Skyler, you are absolutely right about the issue Walter has
here, with Sipwise support assist he would receive the answer
the same day. Something like this:

The old NGCP releases mr6.2+ are based on Systemd init subsystem which
gaves us a lot of freedom and control.
The main configuration framework 'ngcpcfg' is currently
taking care about all the init/systemd related topics including
starting services on boot. NGCP is using standard systemd-preset
functionality which inform systemd about boot configuration. You can
find the default presets here:

> root at sp1:~# ls -la /etc/systemd/system-preset/
> total 28
> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep  4 03:21 .
> drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Sep  4 03:21 ..
> -r--r--r-- 1 root root  680 Sep  4 03:21 10-base.preset
> -r--r--r-- 1 root root 5717 Sep  4 03:21 50-ngcp.preset
> -r--r--r-- 1 root root  118 Sep  4 03:21 90-custom.preset
> -r--r--r-- 1 root root  217 Sep  4 03:21 99-default.preset
> root at sp1:~# 

Sure it is possible to add some necessary/custom services to
NGCP and enable them for boot using the option in config.yml:

> ngcpcfg set /etc/ngcp-config/config.yml "systemd.custom_preset=[’my_servive1.service’, ’my_servive2.service’]"
> ngcpcfg apply "Start my services on boot"

We hope it will help you solve the issue you have.

Please, keep in mind all custom packages installed on NGCP
might cause issues on the next NGCP/Debian upgrade due to missing/broken
dependencies, therefore it is not recommended
to keep foreign packages installed/running during NGCP upgrade.
In the same time ngcp-upgrade will do the best to inform you
about any potential issues before the upgrade, in upgrade 'check' stage.

Thank you!
