Explanation of the setup

What we want to achieve to setup XP with systemd, that is easy to install, upgrade, rollback and backup. These examples do the following:

1. Set correct vm.max_map_count.
2. Create a user and group for XP.
3. Download and extract the desired disto into /opt/enonic/distros.
4. Setup the XP home folder at /opt/enonic/home.
5. Create a systemd service file using the desired distro.
6. Start systemd service (ansible only).

Using ansible-playbook

Use ansible playbook:

$ ansible-playbook -i <INVENTORY> xp-systemd.yml

Using sh script

You can use the sh script. First copy the script to the server and then run as root:

$ ./xp-systemd.sh
$ systemctl daemon-reload
$ systemctl enable --now xp.service

Testing with vagrant

Vagrant will automatically provision the systemd service when you create

$ vagrant up
